Which is why Cold Mountain has so many Golden Glode nominations. By the way, don't waste your time seeing Cold Mountain, what a boring movie, I hated it!

That's good to hear. In case your wondering, I'm rooting for ROTK!!

I am fairly confident that LoTR will do well at the Oscars this year because from the sounds of things they are eligable for more categories including best score and best song.

im not so sure it will win many, i mean ithink it shouldbut usually some movie comes out and screws us over

The BAFTAs were announced today:

LOTR/ROTK gets 13 nominations

Never before have I actually recognized the names of the people nominated for the production type awards (costume, sound, etc.) until the LotR movies -- I guess I've watched way too much about the "making of."

BTW, what does it mean by "orange film?"

[The Gaffer]

It's a new category this year: Best Film Made Entirely in Different Shades of Orange.

Actually, Orange are a phone company who sponsor the event; I think that it's decided by some sort of public vote (probably by Orange customers or something)

[azalea]

Okay, thanks! That makes sense.

Glad to see Ian getting the nod for supporting actor, although to be honest he was better in FotR - he was just too un-Gandalf like in RotK for my liking (not to mention they cut his important Nazgul confrontation scene to force us all to buy the bloody EE when it comes out).

BTW, much as I liked MR, I have to say the ending was utter crap IMO. They'd have done better to cut at the scene when the guy is walking away down the road - the whole carnival scene bit annoying and pointless. Apart from that, great film though

Don't want RotK to win 'best adapted screenplay' on principle. Oh, and because it's craply adapted of course!

I found Kill Bill to be awful, and I'm the most 'action flick' guy I know. The anime stuff was cool, but the actual film was rubbish - Uma Thurman just can't act. It's a measure of how bored I was with the film is that my enduring memory of it is the close up of Uma's foot when she's trying to wriggle her toe. Damn that woman has ugly feet!

BTW anyone else find it amusing that it's Matrix Reloaded and NOT revolutions in the Orange award? Must say, part 2 was better than 3, although part 1 was still the best (and should never have spawned any sequels).

[hectorberlioz]

you're absolutely right on the matrix movies.
sequels usually suck.

he he. there's two good reasons right there.

[Cirdan]

So RotK won BP in the Golden Globes so I guess that is supposed to nix the chances for a BP Oscar.

[Gerbil]

What's the track record for 'globe win means no oscar'? Anyone done any research?

Oh, and a win for Ricky and The Office, I used to live in Slough for a bit and it really is as depressing as it looks in the show!

[BeardofPants]

Ugh, The Office is traumatising!

'I'll get my guitar'

If those words alone don't make you want to curl into a ball and die, then you need to watch the Office

I had always heard (or thought I'd heard) that the GGs ARE good predictors of who will win an Oscar. (Esp. the drama catagory, because we all know comedies rarely win.) I'm not sure what the logic would be regarding it not being a good predictor (unless I'm thinking of nominations rather than wins )

I had never followed the GGs, so I checked the recent history and it seems that they correlate ~60% of the time. Last year was a deviation year so the probability is high that RotK will win.

My previous estimation was based solely on the opinions of a self-proclaimed expert. My mistake.

[crickhollow]

the oscar noms are out! RotK took in 11 nominations:

Best Actor: Jonny Depp: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl!

Wow! I didn't see that coming. I mean he was great in the movie, but I never thought that the academy would nominate him for it.
