Kevin Standard Userer	And to have Brian Grazer call Horner's score "a most haunting and original score.." What? Horner doesn't know how to score anything original. Kevin

brutus Standard Userer	Unfortunately, this was predictable. But it sucks anyway

Camillu Standard Userer	I gave up when Howard won Directing - Best Picture was then quite predictable. Close year: LOTR 4 Beautiful Mind 4 Moulin Rouge 2 Black Hawk Down 2 All others 1 each

MarkA Standard Userer	Well at least Lord of the Rings and Peter Jackson have two more chances....

OHMSS76 Standard Userer	Booooooo, that crack fiend Brian Grazer and Ron 'Bald Eagle' Howard didn't deserve it for their manipulative, processed, force fed, predictible Hollywood spew of celluloid. That film was MADE to win awards and nothing more!!! LOTR was a REAL film, entertaining, thoughtful, everything a film should be!! I'll probably want to refine these comments tomorrow, but I'm pretty pissed right now, that Hollywood saw fit to milk the publicity machine again, honoring itself and shutting out the truly creative individuals(read : outsiders) who made a film that really took me away from reality and entertained me for 3hrs.(LOTR), not some depressing, faux-feel good piece of tripe. Booooo to Hollywood, a million congrats, kudos and huzzah's to Maestro Howard Shore!!!! Sean [Message edited by OHMSS76 on 03-24-2002]

Andr� Lux Standard Userer	I am not surprised with A BEAUTIFUL MIND picking the Oscars for Best Director and Movie. It's the usual "Oscar Made" movie, filled with cheap emotions and made with absolutely no boldness or creativity, typical "by the book" filmaking, courtesy of the innocuous Ron Howard and Brian Grazer. But if you think the right way, it wouldn't make sense to give the Oscar to THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RINGS, since it's just 1/3 of a movie... This will force them to give Oscars to THE TWO TOWERS and THE RETURN OF THE KIND also!! But HOWARD SHORE won and that's what counts!

nightwing Standard Userer	I know I'm probably going to get blasted for this, but I thought that Russel Crowe really deserved the oscar, although I am happy for Washington for he is a great actor. I just thought that Crowe did the best job of the year. As far as Pic and Director, yea Lord of the Rings deserved them (or Memento for pic), there's two more chances

Andr� Lux Standard Userer	I can't agree since Crowe just repeated his perfomance from THE INSIDER, whith more exageration and less credibility. Denzel was simply awesome in TRAINING DAY - he IS the movie!

Dan Brecher Standard Userer	Pure oscar bait, it was to be expected... I laughed out loud at Grazer's nod to Horner's "original" score. Dan

OHMSS76 Standard Userer	So did my wife Dan....we both laughed at the fact that people toss around the word 'haunting' when their brain fails them Andre, let me join you in your hatred towards BMind, whose initials are fittingly B(owel)M(ovement)!!! Huzzzzzah! Sean

SPQR Standard Userer	Curious...that both supporting actor winners essentially played the same role; one the devoted wife of a schizophrenic, the other the devoted husband to an Alzheimer victim. It woud seem Oscar had a soft spot for teary-eyed martyrs this year.

Andr� Lux Standard Userer	Well Sean... it could be worst... we could have be forced to see another awful thing as GLADIATOR picking all the statues. At least this A BEAUTIFUL NUMB is so innocuous and shallow that no one will even remeber it six weeks from now...

Wedge Standard Userer	The original wording was: "James Horner, for his MOST ORIGINAL and haunting score." This wasn't only an original score by Horner, it was his MOST original score!

Ken S Standard Userer	I would have given the Best Picture Oscar for MOULIN ROUGE, and the Director's Oscar for Peter Jackson. But I don't mind the Best Picture Oscar going to the BEAUTIFUL MIND, but I do mind for Ron Howard's award... Peter Jackson would have deserved it so much more on directing LOTR. (Although, if Baz Luhrmann had been nominated, I would have certainly picked him as the winner). That's just me... KEN

Pete M Standard Userer	Grrrr!!! How entirely upsetting. I don't mind too much about FOTR missing out - I suspect The Time of the Rings will come when the whole thing is complete - and at least Shore won! But BM? Eeeeurgh! I'd have rathered(?) any of the other films had won. BM is a distinctly average film, that shouldn't even have been nominated for picture, director or screenplay (and that this last one won over FOTR is as unbeleivable as Shrek triumphing at the BAFTAs), let alone got anywhere near one of the awards. It is, at least lifted by some above average performances (& I don't begrudge it it's standing in the acting categories, but am pleased Crowe didn't win), but it shouldn't have been in consideration for the others. Bah. I'm not pleased at all. I started throwing cushions at the TV when it was announced. Oh, & I also laughed out loud regarding the Horner comment. NP The OSCAR-winning FOTR!!!
