Glad PJ got Best Director! It really was a Directing achievement to pull it off the way he did!

Don’t get me wrong, I loved LoTR/FoTR and I’m glad to see this movie get the recognition it so richly deserves, but…..

You have to realize that this is the same awards group that voted the following:

Best Younger Actor: Haley Joel Osment, A.I.: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
Best Special Effects: Dennis Muren, Scott Farrar, Stan Winston, Michael Lantieri, A.I.: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
Best Writing: Steven Spielberg A.I.: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
Best Science Fiction Film: A.I.: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, Steven Spielberg, Kathleen Kennedy, Bonnie Curtis producers.

I mean lets be honest here, is there even one Freeper that can categorically state that they really LIKED this insipid movie?

Then on the other hand they did vote for the following:

Cinescape’s Face of the Future (Female): Jolene Blalock, ENTERPRISE.
Best Supporting TV Actress: Jolene Blalock, ENTERPRISE.
Best TV Actress: Yancy Butler, WITCHBLADE.

So I guess it all evens out.

I know this is a LOTR:FOTR thread, but I'm VERY happy to see Ben Browder and Farscape finally be recognized. WTG, Ben!

Ian McKellen was masterful in his portrayal of Gandalf. Masterful. He should not be overlooked or awarded over by any of these organizations.

Of course, I believe they are right in giving Best Picture to FotR, and best director to Jackson.

Someone actually got it right!

I do hope that by the time RotK is released, someone out there will recognize the extraordinary job Elijah Wood has done, and not hold his youth against him.
