Eurytus, you crack me up!<P>You start with the line <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Films are not reviewed by the academy as trilogies. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> <P>I prove this is not the case with quotes above, and then you come back with <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>So you have proof that one member of the academy will vote for ROTK. Manybe even another one too. That’s marvelous <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Your point is still wrong.<P>As I mentioned before, the Academy is not a single entity, so treating it as such is incorrect.<P>PS Has anyone seen the list of films that have won the Best Film Oscar in the last ten years or so? It’s LAUGHABLE. The Oscar for Best Picture has gone to some pretty dire films. To me Best Picture is not so important as Best Director. I believe this is the key one that Jackson deserves. Unfortunately, a lot of the time both go hand in hand. We shall see, but even though I watch the Oscars and will root for LOTR, to me they are not so much important rather they are a nice to have.
