one of my friends, trying to argue AGAINST LotR getting so many, pointed out that if it were really all that great then why didn't any of the actors get nominated? seriously, do you want to be the person to pick out THE one and only main character in that story? the one person who deserves recognition above the others? I didn't think so.
but I still think Andy shoulda gotten a nod, that was just phenomenal.
needless to say my friend soon received a good face-wash in our fresh snow for such inoslence
