2000?

Will it be in a new category called "Best Trilogy"? I don't think it will be a yearly category, but an occasional one to honor films of unusual length, like trilogies

Lead story on Dallas news.... District Attorney corruption... damn, I was so sure that Halle Berry's Oscar win would lead the news with her race being so important!

I hope we win some sort of prize for going to 2000 posts in one evening.We made it. Thanks.
To: Servant of the Nine
I doubt that. I suspect that TTT and TROTK won't even get nominations in the major categories. The shock value that FOTR had by being so great won't be the same for the next two films. Even though they'll both be better films, the Academy won't bother to nominate them. Even thought The Empire Strikes Back was a much better film than Star Wars, it wasn't a factor at all in the 1980 Oscar race as was it's predecessor.

I am a tall, fair-shinned, blue-eyed redhead - yet I am not at all proud of Nicole Kidman for starring in that piece of trash Moulin Rouge and I would have been upset if she had won the Oscar for it.Suit yourself but there isn't a history of Hollywood overlooking the talent of tall, fair-skinned, blue-eyed redheads.

It was an epic. One of the best films I've ever seen. I haven't yet met in person anyone who didn't think it was very good. What a rip. I knew it though, it has that 'geek aura' about it, and I knew they were going to pass it over. I'm going to the theatre to see it again (5th time) tomorrow night.

as soon as Julia said, "i love my life," i knew it was Denzel... the worst of it all is that icky Roger Ebert was right about HB and Denzel... and he did pick MR for best movie... i hope it's Beautiful Mind... i was hoping for Russell Crowe... i thought he deserved it...Me too, Julia Roberts came out campaigning for Denzel to win. She didn't deserve her Oscar either.

Russell is being punished for being a sexy brute, and trying to read that damn poem.
Also, the Nash-was-anti-semitic mud siphoned off some votes - I'm sure folks were more willing to to let it affect the actor Oscar instead of the director oscar.
He gave the most intense, riveting performance I've ever seen. He deserved the Oscar.

I was offended by your remarks because you seemed to be implying that the product of two Black parents couldn't be beautiful in your eyes.When I say that, then you can be offended. But I didn't say that - I said Halle (as an individual woman) would not be as beautiful as she is if both her parents were black. There are plenty of beautiful all-black women - but they don't look like Halle. Her beauty is different. White people cannot claim it as white beauty any more than black people can claim it as black beauty - it's her very own. It's Halle's beauty.
She's mixed race, and I think that contributes immeasureably to her beauty. It's backwards to try to fit an octogon into the square hole of one race or the other. Only racists like herself and you feel the need. Some of us can accept her as she is -- neither white not black, but herself.

Great guy, absolutely devoted to his wife of 27 years, and he adores his children. And he gets points for not wearing a silly toupee!

She isn't the first black woman to get the Oscar. Hattie McDaniels got it as Best Supporting Actress in Gone With the Wind. And if I recall .. at the time Hattie McDaniels rec'd this award she wasn't allowed to attend the ceremonies because she was black .. I could be wrong .. but I think that is what I read ..
