I believe that that was before last Sunday at the Academy Awards. (I was about to call it 'Black Sunday', when I realized that could be interpreted in a way other than what I intend, which is a reference to the dissing and robbing of LOTR.) I have to say that I have just seen A Beautiful Mind and find it an ernest and admirable effort, compared to some of the trash nominated for other awards. ABM is also a well-executed fantasy, in its own way. But it simply is not comparable to The Fellowship of the Ring as a work of the imagination or the ability to inspire people.
