Re, the Oscars. No, I am not pleased, but I have to say I'm also not surprised. I think the cruelest blow was to deny the supporting actor to Ian. Moreover, I truly fail to see that a Beautiful Mind was so superior to merit both Best Director and Best Picture. If Rings couldn't win, I'd rather see some of that honor go to Moulin Rouge or any one of the others. I truly believe Hollywood has a real hang-up about taking a fantasy movie seriously. The many little humorous, but also somewhat snide remarks, regarding Middle-Earth were not appreciated by this fan. Let's hope that, by the time the third film comes out, Hollywood and the Oscars will do something to rectify their error.
