Lawnmower has some cool sci-fi effects and wierd twists and Dinner has a sappy side (or a "heart" if you prefer) but both are decent movies.

IMHO I thought that TTT was an extremely emotional movie. In fact, (embarrassing moment about to be revealed) maybe I'm just an emotional person, but I actually felt a tear in my eye when Gollum/Smeagol had the first conversation.

I was VERY annoyed that Fellowship didnt recieve Best Pciture AND Ian McKellan didnt even get best supporting actor! As for TTT I think Andy Serkus(or however you spell it) should get something for Gollum. I have issues with the inacuracies of TTT but Gollum was great.

All of that can still happen in year three, as has been ordained...

Doubt it. We're talking about Hollywood and foreign members that makes up the Academy roster.

...and you don't think that helps a film made in New Zealand that breaks the Hollywood mold and flies in the face of conventional film making?

Where are all the hard sci-fi movies, like, I don't know, Solaris or the Cube?

IIRC, Morgan Freeman is working on bringing Rendezvous with Rama to the big screen. That would definitely qualify as hard SF.

And if jonrog1's Foundation movie gets made, that would be another step in the right direction. And with Clarke and Asimov represented, we need to get someone working on a Heinlein property to complete the hat trick.

And Ringworld. and/or Mote in God's Eye

Not if the foreign members have the same mindset as Hollywood, thumbing at fantasy genre films.

Besides, how those majority of the foreign members voted for a Broadway musical adaptation, Chicago, over LOTR:TTT is way beyond my comprehension of the humans' Common Sense.

On the "farting sunshine" side, it's nice that TTT is nominated.
