Does anyone think that Peter Jackson not being an American will stand in the way of his winning Best Director, and maybe even ROTK Best Film? I know this may sound preposterous but the Academy thinks in a weird sort of way... which is why I usually don't give a floop about their general preferences. (this time, however it's special: it is about the recognition that a wonderful team deserves). <BR>As much as we would like these awards to reflect artistic quality, the movie industry appears to be the stage for some incredulously abject machinations *cough*Passion*cough*.
