<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> To make my point on why Jackson deserves the Oscar, I have looked at, amongst other things: <BR>1/ Trailers<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 <BR>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. <BR> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>You have 6 items in favour of Jackson but since you have not seen the film then to be honest the rest is just window dressing. Trailers do not show the quality of direction. Websites do not show the quality of direction. Interviews do not show the quality of direction. Reviews only show other peoples view of the quality of direction. Documentaries may show the work that has gone into the film but they do not show the quality of direction.<BR>The only thing that really does it, and the thing that will swing the vote, will be the actual finished film.<P>However your last sentiment I can agree with. And I would point out that I am a pretty vocal supporter of Jackson’s work on the two films to date. If the third film is as good or better and is the best of the year then it will deserve its accolades.
