I'm not sure when it started but at some point they started handing out awards to make up for past snubs. This year Peter Jackson got his make up awards for the entire trilogy (and well deserved). This caused Sophia Coppala to get left out. This however boosts her chances next time she is nominated unless there is yet a bigger make up award that needs to be given out that year if so she will be a lock for her third try. Same goes for Bill Murry. Sean Penn was handed a lifetime achievement award for Mystic River. Bill Murry was a sentimental favorite of many and now that he has lost he is in better possition for next time. As with Sophia, he will likely win next time nd is pretty much Garunteed on his third try if he doesn't get it his second try. Which awards did you think it got snubbed for? You say LotR deserved best picture. Do you argue that Sophia is more deserving as Director than PJ? Bill Murry might have been snubbed but that is not the fault of LotR.</blockquote>
