In other words in your point of view is the Best Picture and Best Director are the same thing. Unfortunately, as I had already pointed out, that seems also to be the view of most of the members of the Academy over the last decade.<P>To make my point on why Jackson deserves the Oscar, I have looked at, amongst other things:<P>1/ Trailers (especially the quality of the acting which is a major plus point of Jackons's directors craft)<BR>2/ Website (offical an other) content<BR>3/ Interviews with the actors<BR>4/ Interviews with the film technicians<BR>5/ Reviews of the Film<BR>6/ Various documentaries on the Film<P>These show to me the quality work Jackson has done on ROTK.<P>As I said earlier, the Best Picture is for the PRODUCER. Best Director is to reward the qualities of the Director. <P>But for now, as I stated on another thread with the Saucepan Man, I am taking a break from the Net for a week until after I've seen the Film. We can then hopefully agree that Jackson DOES deserve a gong for his work.<p>[ 11:39 AM December 09, 2003: Message edited by: Essex ]
