Return of the King Oscar Predictions (and post-Oscar Comments)

[Shy Hobbit]

I'm suprised about the noms for Best Picture and Adapted Screenplay, though I doubt they'll win, that's just the way the Acadamy is. It's a crying shame that neither Sean or Elijah got the nominations they both deserved. Boo. At least if it loses Best Picture, it won't lose to Cold Mountain. I've never seen this film, but it seems like any film featuring Kidman or Zellweger dominates the categories. Actually I haven't seen any of these films that RotK is up against, but many of them I'd like to see. I hear good things about The Last Samurai, and Master and Commander has one of our own boys in it So I think I could overlook hard feelings if either of them win. <P> Oh well. With none of the LotR cast up for any awards, I'll give my full support to Mr. Depp for his fabulous performance
