In other words in your point of view is the Best Picture and Best Director are the same thing. Unfortunately, as I had already pointed out, that seems also to be the view of most of the members of the Academy over the last decade.To make my point on why Jackson deserves the Oscar, I have looked at, amongst other things:1/ Trailers (especially the quality of the acting which is a major plus point of Jackons's directors craft) 2/ Website (offical an other) content 3/ Interviews with the actors 4/ Interviews with the film technicians 5/ Reviews of the Film 6/ Various documentaries on the FilmThese show to me the quality work Jackson has done on ROTK.As I said earlier, the Best Picture is for the PRODUCER. Best Director is to reward the qualities of the Director. But for now, as I stated on another thread with the Saucepan Man, I am taking a break from the Net for a week until after I've seen the Film. We can then hopefully agree that Jackson DOES deserve a gong for his work.[ 11:39 AM December 09, 2003: Message edited by: Essex ]
