All you have managed to do is to point out 1 (maybe 2) examples of biased voting in favour of ROTK. Since you later suggest that the list of films that has won is laughable perhaps you might like to point out how the actors who actually worked on a film voting for it is somehow an improvement.<P>I would also point out that nowhere in your Christopher Lee quote does it actually state that he will be voting for the film. <P>Tell me just how would films released in 2001 and 2002 be considered for best picture Oscar 2003?<BR>Perhaps when Aliens 5 is no doubt released then it should win best picture Oscar because 1 and 2 were great.<BR>Or perhaps The Phantom Menace should have won because the academy felt bad that they gave the Oscar to Annie Hall instead of Star Wars.<P>Sheesh, thanks for making it clear. A film that has not been released yet and which you have not seen should get the Oscar irrespective of its merits because the previous 2 films (which were themselves nominated as separate entities) were good.<BR>Thanks for pointing out the logic of your argument. It makes sense now.
