4 out of 13! What an insult, my God!My first complaint: only one actor of LotR was nominated. Mortensen should've been up against McKellen, and Wood should've been up for Best Actor. Mortensen should've won and so should've Wood. My second complaint: no other director deserved Best Director as much as Peter Jackson. I bet within the first week of shooting "The Fellowship of the Ring" Ron Howard (who by the way looks like a vampire on a diet) would've seriously injured himself. My third complaint: Enya didn't win the ****ing Oscar! Who cares if Randy would've had to be the Susan Lucci for another year? "May it be" was a song that evoked the feelings of Tolkien and the movie perfectly--which is what should be counted on, not some dorky Gringo fave. Argggh!My fourth complaint: they didn't have a cleansweep of all 13 (and there should've been more than 13!). Time to go perform some witchcraft on the Academy members.
