I am disappointed at how few nomination Harry Potter got (Only 3, including costumes)

LotR sure deserves all 13 Oscars. It is a magnificent movie. If you think that it is the most expensive movie ever made (160 million dollars I think) then it is natural to be nominated for 13 Oscars.

Most expensive? $160 mil seems about par for the course for Hollywood films, I would think.

I wonder how much Titanic cost to make?

What?? Zero nominations for Brotherhood of the Wolf?!? That is absurd. What is also absurd is that Titantic got more nominations than LoTR! The world we live in... *sigh*

Not even for the best Foreign language film ?!

Actually, Titanic went waaay over-budget and cost about $200 million or so, and is, I think, the most expensive ever made. Didn't the make all 3 LotR for $160?

Statistically speaking, LotR looks like the winner for best picture. The winner is usually the film with the most nominations

. I know this isn't the actual method used to choose the winner, but more often than not, it has worked out this way.

Ya know, I am realy losing faith in awards now adays. Nothing against lotr, it was a good movie, but awards are nothing more than an exuse for these tv productions to make money. They just nominate the most popular movie/actor(ess)/whatever just so people will watch them and all that. I think when they gave the best actress award to julia roberts(sp?) they sinked to an all new low. Quality is in short demand now I guess. But I do hope lotr wins a few. [img]smile.gif[/img]
