If SW DARE get any of the ones you have predicted (in particular, I find the idea of George Lucas best Steve Jackson - NO WAY!), blood will be spilt.
Awards that LOTR : TTT could (and SHOULD) easily win -
Best Movie (Oh YEAH will it win!)
Best Director (Jackson or Lucas... Umm.. Toughie that one... NOT!)
Best Visual Effects (Helms Deep or Geonosis... Really, come ON people)
Best Actor (How could EpII Ewan POSSIBLY be rated better than Aragorn or Legolas. Even YODA deserves it more than Ewan)
Supporting Actor
Supporting Actress
Original Score
Costume
Adapted Screenplay
Cinematography
I will admit to being not too pleased with the PT to date, but how can you SERIOUSLY SW to beat LOTR to the extent you have predicted.
TTT was better. Not just than PT, but the OT.
More polished, better acted, FAR better script, action was more nitty gritty, with sceanary that composed of more than a large wide open space!
Sorry, flame me if you must, but LOTR :TTT was superior in every way. I just cannot stand to see the tripe Beardy has produced beat such a labour of love, and effort. It REALLY would be a travesty.
If EpII wins over TTT, I will PERSONALLY maim the Academy....
This stinks! This is total BS!
*stomps out fo room*
;) Ok ok so maybe I'm not quite that mad but close to it! Andy Sirkis should so be on there.

Ahem...
STAR WARS
Think about it. You can't compare the two. One's fantasy. One's Sci-Fi. And yes, they are different things. There is a thread to debate this here in the cantina as to which is better... :rolleyes:
Well, I love SW, but I am sure there were better things than just TTT and SW...
There are more movies then Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.

I totally agree. The debate between the two is effects. I mean, the story for TTT is all from a book, so adaptaion might be what they win as well.

WRITING (ADAPTED SCREENPLAY): ADAPTATION
GO......SEE.......ADAPTATION....
This was a really great movie.
Umm perhaps people didnt read the instructions very well. This is not a debate thread. It is an Oscar thread to post what movies and actors, etc. you think should get the awards. A nomination thread, nothing more. I was thinking that when enough people have posted I would count all the nominations and post the winners of each catagory. Is that too hard to understand? I must say that Im slightly offended of what the people who have replied done. You acted like it was some debate between SW and LotR. Wtf? I posted my nominations now you post yours. How hard is that? If you want to critisize peoples opinions then you came to the wrong thread. :tsk: Shame.
