I was disappointed that LOTR didn't win Best Picture or Best Director, but I did not expect it to win. Ron Howard is a great director. He deserved the Oscar so many years ago for his other movies and they were making it up to him. Besides, I'm sure PJ will be nominated for either the second or third movies (or both!) LOTR also has a high chance for winning for the next two installments. <P>I didn't expect LOTR to win Best Song either. I thought Pearl Harbor would win, because it is a good song. I really didn't expect Monsters, Inc. to win at all! That was a big disappointment.<P>I was disappointed that Ian McKellen didn't win for Best Supporting Actor. I agreed with the critics' predictions that he would win. I haven't seen Iris or Jim Broadbent (ever) though, so I didn't really know.<P>The technical awards that LOTR won were well-deserved, especially cinematography.<P>I agree that the biggest disappointment was Best Adapted Screenplay, but hey, two more years. I'm sure the screenwriters will do a great job on ROTK and then it'll win that year!<P>Hopefully, people won't bash A Beautiful Mind just because it beat out FOTR, especially if they haven't seen it. Just remember...two more years, and surely by the third year, it'll win Best Picture. So don't be too disappointed.<P>I was VERY happy that Howard Shore won for Best Score. It was definitely the best score out of all the nominees, though A.I. was some competition.<p>[ March 27, 2002: Message edited by: dragongirlG ]
