[OT] Lotr:FotR is now an Oscar winner

[Nightfall]

I'm with you on that Green. It's a total crock but what do you expect from an academy that will probably pass on Denzel Washington in favor of Russell Crowe YET again. (Hey I liked Gladiator BUT I NEVER thought he deserved an Oscar.)

 

[Skywalker]

So what's the remaining order - director, actress, actor and picture (?)

Oh boy, here we go....

Lordy, another "dead guys" tribute. I thought they had one already. It's not like they have THAT much more time to work with...

 

[DMG]

Or Feesh and Cheeps as you Ozzies say

"Baa"...Hey...I'm on your side! I backed the Warriors in the NRL the other "Baa" night!!!

"Baa"...hey, is that your sheep calling? Just kidding...

Dontchya just love that love / hate relationship between the Kiwi's & Aussies.

By that definition, then, NO movie can ever qualify to win Best Adapted Screenplay, since it's impossible to get the same feeling from watching a movie as reading a book. Ever see Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet? That was the best book (or in this case play) to movie adapation I've ever seen. Didn't give me the same feeling as reading the play. Whatever, to each his own.

A Beautiful Mind, though, did NOT deserve to win. They re-wrote the book, for chrissakes! The guys wife left him! There was no enduring love story, there. Blech, as if I should've expected anything different from Hollywood. I expect LOTR to get shut out of Best Director and Best Movie, too. Same for the 2 sequels. It'll never win anything more than technical awards. God, Hollywood sucks! I know I wouldn't cry if it sank into the ocean, tomorrow. Though not til Peter Jackson and the rest of the LOTR crew got out and went back to New Zealand.

[Skywalker]

Argh the Ozzies are using herd tactics on me...luckily us Kiwis know how to deal with herds!
