That's cool Gerbil. My brother was stationed on Bahrain.

FrodoFriend · 03-25-2002, 01:36 AM

Ah! Here come Director and Picture!! *crosses fingers*

Gerbil · 03-25-2002, 01:36 AM

OK am watching all from now till end so no more comments on here until it's over.

Good luck to everyone who wants something to win!

CYA in a few minutes - probably about 10 or 15 at the rate they drag these things out...

Nope I lied cos PJ didn't win.
I don't want to sit watching a Happy Days special speech.

I can't believe he looks the same apart from the hair, it's REALLY freaking me out!

Doesn't bode well for best picture award though

FrodoFriend · 03-25-2002, 01:38 AM

Sh*t!!

Cirdan · 03-25-2002, 01:38 AM

It's about time Ron Howard won. Too bad this wasn't his best film.

What else has he done?

bropous · 03-25-2002, 01:39 AM

You're gonna hear it over and over....."We have two years ot catch up and award LotR"....then, next two years: "LotR has already been recognized".

Opie an't got SQUAT on Peter Jackson. There goes Best Picture.

The Oscars have NEVER been a mark of quality.

jerseydevil · 03-25-2002, 01:39 AM

I liked Harry Potter too and saw it 5 times. I saw it and LOTR back to back one day too. That was pretty cool. Long - but cool.

Oh, shut up, Opie. We all KNOW it was FIXED.

**crickhollow** · 03-25-2002, 01:40 AM

*sigh* so this means we're down to best pic. No comment on best director. jerseydevil and olsonm were the only ones not pulling for fotr.

jerseydevil · 03-25-2002, 01:41 AM

Rob Howard has done a lot of movies. I liked A Beautiful Mind and I thought he'd win. I saw 4 out of five of the movies up for Best Picture.

Didn't say I wasn't pulling, just that I didn't think it should win, in a technical sense.

Gerbil · 03-25-2002, 01:42 AM

FrodoFriend · 03-25-2002, 01:43 AM

*sigh* A Beautiful Mind. Poor LotR.

Poor Russel Crowe. A Beautiful Mind won practically every big award - except Best Actor for him!

jerseydevil · 03-25-2002, 01:43 AM

I didn't think FOTR deserved to win.

**crickhollow** · 03-25-2002, 01:43 AM
