Everyone says it, and most likely enough it is true: Fantasy films aren't taken seriously. By the Academy or by a lot of people. Ditto cartoons/CG pics. As for TTT being Best Animated, whoever said that in this thread obviously had eyes only for Gollum. There were about, ooh I dunno two hundred non-animated characters!!<P>It <I>will</I> win Best FX (waggles hand in front of judges... it <I>will</I> win. Star Wars prequels lose cred for having so many CG effects and not enough physical ones. But so what, FX is nothing. Best Picture, an Actor/Actress one, Best Director, those are the ones that really get recognition. I agree, there's not even an outside look at Best Supporting Actor. If anyone gets nominated for their acting, then I'd have to say 2002 was a terrible year for movies. Script? LOL! And cinematography is <I>much</I> more than pretty locations.<P>But I for one don't believe that PJ will walk away from these three movies without one Best Director nod. He's my pony for the Oscar, I'm backing him all the way. Go you good thing!
