[NYC GOP Chick]

No, I will NOT question my sexuality.

That's for the rest of us to do! ;D

[HairOfTheDog]

But in a sense, I guess it did "lose"! It failed to win!

[Clemenza]

OK, I LOVE Christopher Guest's other Mockumentaries (Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman) but found Mighty Wind to be subpar. Good to see Eugene Levy and Katherine O'Hara in anything however.

[Lil'freeper]

It's better than those terrier songs in "Best in Show"!! (although those were rather cute...)

[Hildy]

Yes, she was hot...so what? She still couldn't act.

[FourPeas]

You mean this was nominated for an award?

[xp38]

Commercial release date in Los Angeles is what determines whether a film is eligible.

[al baby]

Dude! Natalie Wood was hot.
Just not very boyuant

[KellyAdmirer]

I see Peter and Mary singing this dull LOTR tune, where's Paul? They are funny, though, I give them props for that.

[AgentEcho]

Agreed!!!

[Central Scrutiniser]

Anna, its from a movie that is all satire, its a lampoon of 60's folk, I'm amazed it go nominated, its a great inside joke! Mighty Wind was great.

[Kieri]

Men who enjoy LOTR squat when they urinate.

Men who don't enjoy LOTR lie on their backs when they urinate

Is this an official pissing contest? ;-)

[God luvs America]

Who is E morris and what did they say? I'm not watching...

[Dr.Deth]

The song isn't bad. What the hell do you want? For actors, that was pretty damn good.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Really? I thought the 'English Patient' was very deserving of its awards.

[Petronski]

If there's justice, that one's your winner.

[Houmatt]

That is Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara

[Vision Thing]

I honestly don't think Mel cares if the Academy acknowledges his film or not.

Amen. A true artist has more concern for his work and then his audience. Any artist who cares about what his peers think is not an artist.

[Not now, Not ever!]

OTOH, that American Express Tiger Woods "Caddyshack" commercial I just saw deserves an Oscar or three.... ROLFMAO

Thanks, I will second that

I was laughing so hard I didn't notice who's commercial it was!!

[Hand em their arse]

Now THAT was funny!!
