<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I would be mildly surprised at a single nomination for The Two Towers <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Well, it's already been nominated for two Golden Globes: Best Picture and Best Director. Are you surprised? (or don't GG's count?)<P>Anyway, I know that editing wasn't as good. I was just trying to remember the other categories. And I don't really think it deserves anything that FotR didn't get, but I'm trying to look at it compared to films from this year. But I find most "Oscar contenders" too boring to even bother going to see, so I'm not the most qualified to disucss the subject, I guess. (I mean, "Gangs of New York" looks painfully insipid to me). <P>As for Dafoe...again, if the GG's are any indication, he didn't even get nominated for that one. Somehow I picture the Academy really thumbing their noses at Spider-man. Not that it wasn't good...but it was such summer-blockbuster oriented fare, being based on a comic book and all.<P>I still think "We Were Soldiers" was one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen...much better than "Saving Private Ryan" at any rate. And that was nominated.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> The constuming and cinematography is the same as last year, and they didn't win then. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>FotR won Best Cinematography, BTW. Probably won't get a repeat award, that means. But without Moulon Rouge, I don't see why it shouldn't get a nod for costumes. A nomination at least.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> The screenplay and adaptation was outstanding (surpassing the LOTR:FOTR <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>That's the first good thing I've heard about the screenplay for "A Beautiful Mind". Everyone else says it glossed over too much and blatantly over-romanticized John Nash's life.<p>[ December 29, 2002: Message edited by: Diamond18 ]
