Best Cinematography - The Man Who Wasn't There
I get the feeling this is very close to how the oscars is going to be, it should be interesting.
Well they had to give it something, given that it was scandalously omitted from the nominations for best film and director...Originally posted by Mr Sleep

BTW, here's a question for all those people who say the Academy don't like fantasy movies - name a recent fantasy movie that deserved to win? I can't think of any myself...
Possibly one of the best films ever, an absolute classic and everyone basically ignores itOriginally posted by Georgi

I hear the Hollywood buzz is that LotR is going to get Best Picture *crosses fingers*BTW, here's a question for all those people who say the Academy don't like fantasy movies - name a recent fantasy movie that deserved to win? I can't think of any myself...
Willow was definitely my favorite movie growing up (second to "Spaceballs," another under-rated film). But Willow was what introduced me to fantasy, and eventually to the D&D worlds, because soon after I watched the movie, I was compelled to read the Hobbit, then Lord of the Rings, then Dragonlance, then Forgotten Realms, then Wheel of Time, then...Originally posted by Mr Sleep

I have to agree, it is definately a starter in the fantasy world for most people, it of course brought about the wonder of Ron HowardOriginally posted by EMINEM

I personally think that LotR should win Best Picture because (and I know this is kind of radical...) it's the best film nominatedOriginally posted by Mr Sleep
There is a great link between Hollywood and the fantasy genre, look at all the stars that are linked or have starred in fantasy movies, i think that this year The Oscars should acknowledge this and make LotR Best Picture (as much as i didn't like it)

(I saw A Beautiful Mind today, and I can't say I was overly impressed. Have seen all the Best Picture nominees now.)

You are not disrepecting Willow i hope! I was actually watching a film the other day with a young Christian Bale and Christopher Lee as well, does anyone remember the name of that?
Oh Georgi, best fantasy film, Princess Bride
Yes indeed i doOriginally posted by Georgi

No no, I admit that Willow is a good movie, but you see what I mean about Oscar-worthy fantasy films being few and far between?![]()
Hmmm, well the only film I can think of with a young Christian Bale in it is Empire of the Sun... but Christopher Lee isn't in that.
Princess Bride, eh? No need to ask what you did last weekend...I watched it and taped it
Hadn't seen it for ages
And Cary Elwes is rather cute

You idol is Steven Spielberg?Well ok, it could be worse, maybe I just saw the trailer for Minority Report the other day and it looks like an excuse for lots of special FX with no plot, so I'm not feeling especially charitable towards Mr Spielberg currently.
