What Tha Hell Was That?
Right.
Check the other thread (which maybe should be renamed and combined with this one for all post-Oscar comments).
Also take a peek at The Shoutbox. We did all this live, folks. Where were you?

Look, compare how Fellowship fared tonight with how Star Wars did at the '78 ceremonies. Star Wars was nominated for TEN Oscars, including Best Supporting Actor for the classy Brit who played the wise old Wizard, Best Original Screenplay, Best Director and Best Picture....plus a bunch of technical stuff. It won six awards, all in technical areas like visual effects, editing, the score and even a seventh special award for the creation of such new and unusual sound effects. It lost for Picture, Director, Supporting Actor and Screenplay.
Sound familiar?

Yep, sure does. I'm still pissed. 6 out of 10 is a lot better than 4 out of 13, though. 60% .vs. 30%. Bah. Forget it...I was mad about this long before it happened.

I dunno, I dug the Oscars, but there isn't much I'd rather do than have that kind of fun on the Shoutbox.

You know who I missed seeing at the Awards last night?
Brad & Jennifer
Jack
Cate Blanchett
Ewan Mcgregor
Douglas and Zeta-Jones
and scads of others. Didn't you think some key players, were missing? Ed Norton, Robert DeNiro, Ben Stiller and his wife, Drew Barrymore and Tom Green, Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson, Goldie Hawn, Guy Pierce and the list goes on. Hell, even if I wasn't nominated...I'd be at every one of those things.

Some of them may have been there - they don't show everyone. Or, maybe they're busy filming, in another country, etc.
I swear I saw Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston drive by me one day where I live. Brad was wearing what looked like a fake thick brown beard. I couldn't really see the woman -- she was snuggling up next to him, but she had Jennifer's hair.
Unfortunately, I was with my sister, who was driving, and she didn't fulfill my demands of following them. I should have thrown her out on the road and took control of the car. I would have purposely crashed into them (but not bad enough to injure them. Well, maybe just enough to injure Jennifer...)

The thing is, they COULD have said, "ok; we've been idiots all of these years, and we will finally give sci-fi and fantasy the same kind of credit we give other genre's. Star Wars should have won, and so should Rings." But they didn't say that, and so they are still idiots.

I don't think LOTR or Jackson won because the Academy knows they have two more chances, and they really wanted to give Opie an Oscar for the first time.
That's a dumb way to hand 'em out. Especially considering the first may very well be the most thrilling of the three. I'll be surprised if the second gets this many nominations. The third is the other big one...that might have a shot. I'll tell you what, though: if it doesn't win one of the top four Oscars for ANY of the three films, I'm gonna do something drastic. I'll boycott the damn things if I have to.

As I was discussing with Chris yesterday, I think Jackson will be rewarded for the trilogy, and not for each individual film.
I doubt you'll be seeing much of a LOTR based Oscars next year either, but in 2004, I reckon Jackson and The Return of the King will clean up.
And he's got to be pleased.
He's almost garunteed three Oscar nominations, and three trips to the night of nights in a row. That's gotta rock.

Because EVERY OTHER MOVIE WAS BETTER! In the Bedroom, low budget, best acted movie of the year. Moulin rouge, so original, so entertaining and so romantic. Gosford Park, on of the funniest movies of the year, great acting, great writing, great directing, nothing about this movie was bad.And finally- LOTR do i need to say anything.
See, ABM isnt a bad movie, its just that the others are better, far better.
On a completely different note- what hell was up with Black Hawk Down??? It won some that i was sure that it wouldnt, and than it didnt win Director.
