Oscars - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hi all.<P>I'm not surprised that LOTR won mainly in the technical categories since fantasy movies rarely win a lot of Oscars. So, actually I'm pleased that it won the awards that it did. The fact that the rather staid Academy recognized the movie in spite of its traditional reserve when it comes to this genre says good things about LOTR. Winning 4 Oscars is nothing to hang your head about. I haven't seen abm, so I can't comment on it, although I've been told by friends that it is a good movie.<P>So here's raising the mug to PJ, the cast, and the whole crew of LOTR for a job well done!
