[quote=Holden Pike]Nobody ever said The Oscars were handed out on merit, because it's so very rarely true.

But that's why we hate/love the stupid things.

[i]A Beautiful Mind[/i]. Will it stand the test of time with "best" pictures like [i]Driving Miss Daisy[/i] and [i]Around the World in 80 days[/i]? You bet your butt.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]Damnitt, LOTR got 4 out of 13, and nothing at all truly significant. I swear, I was actually starting to have faith in all this bullsh*t...forget that, though.[/quote]

[quote=mightymose]Good Night all... have to be up for work in a few hours... It's been nice![/quote]

[quote=Holden Pike]Little Opie Cunningham![/quote]

[quote=firegod]yeah, tell me about locks when amelie doesn't get the win.....[/quote]

[quote=mightymose]Is it just me or does Peter Jackson look like Gimli the Dwarf :)

[quote=mightymose]Nobody ever said that the awards are given out based on merit H... I definitely agree with you on this one![/quote]

[quote=Holden Pike]And [i]A Beautiful Mind[/i] has been a lock since the morining the nominations were announced in February.[/quote]

[quote=mightymose]Well, we can all hope that they give it to LOTR: FOTR b/c they gave ABM so many other things :)  [/quote]

[quote=Holden Pike]Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ron Howard. He's a nice guy and all, child star made good. Yippee. But now Ron Howard, Mel Gibson, Robert Redford and Kevin Costner have more Directing Oscars than Robert Altman, Martin Scorsese, Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick.

I'd like to [u]not[/u] thank The Academy. :rolleyes:[/quote]

[quote=firegod]well, ABM is a lock now, damnit[/quote]
