Sorry, don't have time to read all that thread, but i agree with The Saucepan Man's first few posts.

I am all for everyone having their own opinions but i don't agree with people chaging their views on things because of awards ceremonies. The same happened with Johnny Depp; everyone loved his performance until he got nominated for everything and then people started to insult him, his performance, the film, everything. With LOTR it is a love/hate thing, but so many people DO seems to have changed their views after the 11 Oscars that it's slightly ridiculous.

I also feel that that article was rather extreme for the national press: maybe Gerry van der List should tone it down a bit next time.
