[OT] Lotr:FotR is now an Oscar winner

[Oni]

Well it pretty much went down like I figured it would, but when you consider the fact that there are still too more movies to the trilogy, there is still a lot of award potential there.


Besides even if some hollywood stiffs didn't get it right, we know the truth

At least that Mazes & Monsters guy was on the Acadamy Awards. Again.

LOL!!!!

 

[Squire James]

Come people! I know we are upset but PLEASE tell me what happened! Who won for best picture and best director?

Um, the same guys for both. LoTR has to settle for the tie, and Mr. Howard gets all the tiebreakers...

EDIT: Removed confusing pronoun that might suggest I'm Ron Howard!

 

[Eternalknight]

Well that just plain sux.

(sarcasm) Hooray for Hollywood! and it's overlong continuation of it's celebration of Mediocre Cinema! (end sarcasm). It's getting ridiculous how these old rich movie makers continue to celebrate mediocrity over art. Quite frankly I hereby swear off watching anymore Academy Award shows, this one had to be the most boring one yet, the acceptance speeches were FAR FAR too long. I changed the channel when Halle Barry started balling, give me a break!

Hopefully they will wake up, I myself am not holding my breath.

The sun dawns,
the crowds wait,
to hear:
a movie's fate.

Alas for them,
hope has failed,
to win:
So I wailed.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Time for the Aussies and Kiwis to gain together and say how we were robbed

 

[PenguinKing]

Hum, sorry, butI believe "adapted" should not mean "mangled".

Oh, come off it - in a truly "faithful" adaption, The Fellowship of the Ring would have been a musical.

- Sir Bob.

P.S. Nih!

Some how I'm not surprised. The voting probably would have got to Crowe IF there hadn't been such a hubbub about the movie's problems and Crowe himself.

Well I know what I consider is the best picture of 2001/2002. And it SURE wasn't A Beautiful Mind. Even though I'm not AS shafted about this (I was expecting this), I STILL think Sir Ian was SERIOUSLY robbed.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force...like ten thousand geeks suddenly cried out at once in righteous indignation.
