Penguin picks: Tuxedoed pair choose 'Happy Feet' for the win

In the Oscar-nominated animated feature film "Happy Feet," Emperor penguins express their love with a song.

Thursday morning, King penguin Scout and Gentoo penguin Gilbert at Riverbanks Zoo & Garden expressed their love for our yearly Oscar picks with sounds that would make Abigail Breslin's "Little Miss Sunshine" pageant contestant jealous.

This is the second year the Herald-Journal has asked for the assistance of the penguins in our Oscar picks. Last year, they knew "March of the Penguins" would march away with the Oscar for Best Documentary.

We decided to seek their advice since "Happy Feet," which has a cool environmental message, is nominated for Best Animated Feature against "Cars" and "Monster House."
