So are you going to debunk any of the "Winners" Morlock?

It seems that it wasn't to be for LotR... still, there's always next year and the year after
A Beautiful Mind and LotR both came away with four awards, but ABM got the big ones. I'm disappointed, but hardly surprised, since it's the kind of movie the Academy loves. And it was a good show, pretty difficult to predict the winners.
Full round-up to follow shortly...

@Tammy so, what are your reactions?
The best actor and actress categories were nice surprises (and Russell Crowe looked just a bit grumpy
)... though I'm just waiting for the media to start calling this the PC Oscars
Denzel Washington is the only Afro-American to win that category since Sidney Poitier (who picked up an award as well), and given the roles that he has played, the Oscar was due... and Halle Berry is the first Afro-American to win Best Actress.
I really think The Man Who Wasn't There should have taken Cinematography, since it was snubbed for nomination in the other categories, but I don't begrudge it to LotR, because it is a stunning film. Also I was surprised, given the amount of nominations it got that Amelie didn't get anything - thought it might take the foreign film category.

My reactions, from an Australian point of view disappointed. However this was one of the worst awards night due to the excessive amounts of smear campaigns.Originally posted by Georgi

I'm honestly suprised that Pearl Harbor won an award. Regardless of what field it was for.
I'd dispute the Black Hawk Down one for sound, mainly because they butchered the Jimi Hendrix song.
But Shrek won and LotR bagged a few awards. So I'm satisfied to say the least.

Well, Moulin Rouge got a couple (more than I thought it deserved), even if Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe didn't win...Originally posted by Tamerlane

True... but should we take the fact that A Beautiful Mind won despite the accusations to mean that the Academy members vote for the movie they thought most deserved to win, and didn't take any notice of the mudslinging? In which case that would surely be a good sign...However this was one of the worst awards night due to the excessive amounts of smear campaigns.
Gotta agree with you thereI'm honestly suprised that Pearl Harbor won an award. Regardless of what field it was for.
I only vaguely recall that... I think it was probably quite deserving regardless.I'd dispute the Black Hawk Down one for sound, mainly because they butchered the Jimi Hendrix song.
I don't think there was much doubt that Shrek would win. Actually I was pleased to see the winner for the short animation was the only one of those I've seen - it's the short that's on the front of Monsters, IncBut Shrek won and LotR bagged a few awards. So I'm satisfied to say the least.

I thought the name was familiar. I enjoyed that more than Shrek to be honest.Originally posted by Georgi

Heh, for some strange reason it isnt exactly his looks that bothers meOriginally posted by Georgi
But it's not as though he was actually onscreen...![]()
Though it is painfull I feel I must admitt i actually smiled a couple of times during that movie.
While others climb the mountains High, beneath the tree I love to lie

Hehe - I can't help feeling a bit happy that LoTR didn't get the major Oscar-awards (Best Actor, Best Picture etc.) - because for once these guys shows that thay are in agrement with my own oppinion, which I stated back when LoTR hype was on its highest.Originally posted by Tamerlane
lol, thats good to here. But only from a LotR fans perspective though.![]()
(That LoTR was more about effects imo)
