ok back to topic did any one see todays enterprise. man oh man next weeks is going to be something special. i have never been left in so much suspence. the show is definately turing out outstanding ep and storys. i may even buy this season on dvd when it comes out. holy shit it is good. and the story is so intregueing its like a mystery you can figure out what happens if you are really really good 2 eps b4 it happens. they connect everythings this only thing i can compare it to is that is it like reading a book or a series, with each ep being a chapter. and having them all link together. this si insane how good it is getting.

The problem is that everyone who voted was voting based on the trilogy. However, every single nomination was for "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King". None of them were for The Trilogy. Warbler says it best a couple of posts before this one.

If you want to honor the man for the work he did on the trilogy as a whole, then create a special Oscar for him like they did in 1977/78 for Lucas and Star Wars since nothing appropriate existed back then. Star Wars did not deserve Best Picture over, I believe the winner was Annie Hall. Thankfully, it did not win because it was not the best picture of the year. But it did deserve recognition for what it accomplished in terms of moviemaking. So they did the right thing and created an Oscar for it. They should have done this for LOTR as well.

I agree with you Gundark. So does my wife. We were fuming. The awards show was a joke. If I hear another reference to "the people of New Zealand", I'm going to vomit. And not a single upset in any major category. Where was this year's Adrien Brody? I was sincerely hoping for Diane Keaton or Keisha Castle Hughes to upset Charlize Theron.



IMHO rofk was more pleasing to non lotr people then ttt and fotr. fotr regular was the best of the three, but the TTT EE is the best of all them all sofar.

And, was ROTK alone the best movie? The LOR was a great Trilogy, but since when do oscars go to movie series? Remember the title is "Best Picture" not "Best Pictures" If ROTk alone was not the best movie and lets say Seabiscuit was (and I'm not saying it was, just using it as an example) wouldn't giving the award to ROTK just because "LOR was just too great not to be given best picture at least once" be unfair to Seabiscuit(again assuming that Seabiscuit was the best movie this year and I'm not saying it it)?

It is not that I don't like LOR it is just that I don't know if oscars should be awarded in this fashion.


i know what your saying warbler, and i agree with you but, what can you do. personally i felt that the best movie was lost in traslation. i also felt that the last samuri should have been nominated but it wasn't. what can you do.

personally i feel that FOTR should have gotten best movie in its year but it didnt. and i believe that at least one of the Lotr movie had to get best movie so this was the last chance for it to happen that is why it happened. i think that this is the same idea that was going through many acadamey voters too. the trilogy was too great not to be given best picture at least once.

Shimraa its your comments like this that bother me so much. Your constantly threatening to get mad when people say something you don't agree with. I couldn't care less if you're pissed off. you take things way to personally and get wound up way too easily.


actually i dont, go read some of the things motti and bossk and dayv say about me in the off topic folder. i dont get mad easily and i have shown that many times in time i have been here.
