Lord of the Reams
Well, LotR got the royal shaft, pretty much like I figured. then ,Whooppy Goldberg with her racist jokes about caucasians.
Reminded me of why it had been twenty years since I had sat through an Academy Awards show. Only two more years to go, then it will be forty years til I see it again, when someone produces a film of "The Silmarillion". UP the academy. And ron howard can go take a short walk off a long pier.

I think FoTR got the awards it had the best chance to win, in a political sense.

Maybe they figure that if Ronald Reagan could make in politics...
NOT that I'm knocking Reagan, or anything. I happen to think that he was the best president America saw in the 20th ce--I'm sorry, we were talking about soapbox speeches?

I agree - I don't think FOTR deserved the other awards.

My most hated actor is Richard Gere - he got booed off the stage in NY after 9/11 when he said we should give "peace a chance". Yeah right - he should get his a$$ to Afganistan and talk to the Al Queda personally - then I'd never have to see his face again.

Why don't you like Russel Crowe? He's a good actor. Just 'cause he doesn't suck up to the audience everyone hates him. That Oscar should've been his.

I hadn't seen Trainiing Day. I wanted Russell Crowe to win - even though he's another actor I can't stand really. I thought he did a really good job in A Beautiful Mind.

No dissing on Harry Potter. It deserved some more nominations. Same with Memento.
I haven't seen either Beautiful Mind or Training Day, so I can't really judge. But Russel's cool.
