Some surprises came out in this years oscars: the only oscar for Adaptation was given to Chris Cooper (Best Supporting Actor). How they managed to lose Best Adapted Screenplay is beyond me. Stupid academy.
I’m quite glad the Lord Of The Rings didn’t win many awards this year. The films have been moderately impressive visually, but quite overblown. There’s a big difference between epics and tedious detail; Peter Jackson just doesn’t see it.
