I am absolutly disgraced by Pearl Harbor not getting one single nomination at the BAFTAS. Fair enough, I didn't expect it to have any best film, director etc. nominations but what about the technical awards???

Lord of the Rings had many technical awards but lets face it, you could still tell those effects were done by CGI while PH looks so real.

Michael Kaplan was ignored for Best Costume Design. Another disgrace, seeing the amount of extras needed for the picture!

Best score? Nope, no Hans Zimmer!

Here is the real disgrace though....... not one cinematography nomination. John Schwartzman is probably the cinematographer ever and his work on PH was beautiful!

Why was the poorly made Harry Potter under these nominations?

If they didn't like the film then that's fine, but ignoring these artist's is f****** cruel! (watch the language please, modded)

the incredible thing with this is that moulan rouge got actually one nominations for special effects....how is that possible??
Pearl should have gotten a couple og nominations. Anyway BHd got 3!

just because you guys like PH and all that, you can't come complaining about all the nominations it didn't get, because, to be honest most people don't like that film, the critics has few positive remarks about it, and that makes nominations hard to get.

hey man!!!
I dont say that Pearl h deserves best picture or something...I mean that it should be nominated for best special effects! Not mulan Rouge!
Get the point now?

Not really; I was underwhelmed by its special effects.

special effects have to be scientifcally correct most of the effects in pearl harbor were unrealistic and impossible-for instance the bomb being released and falling at a angle and traveling slower then the plane ,a bomb would travel at the same speed as the plane at the point it was released , and the planes flying millimeters from walls and the ground

But planes DID fly low! Yes, I loved Pearl Harbor, but it's COMMON SENSE, that it should be nominated for visual effects. I agree with you that some of it was unrealistic, but let's face it, most of it was. Besides the only bad effect in my opinion was when the Arizona exploded, but that was due to CGI not being good enough yet.

Of course, everything in LOTR looks very realistic (my attempt of sarcasm).

well your attempt fail

graphics dont mean anthing if a movie has a bad story ,unlike pearl harbor LOTR's had a great story to compansate for the lact of affects ,so no matter how you ,put,place or argue pearl harbor plain sucked

they say the it was iml (industrial light and magic) best work ever!
At least thats what I read!

If you think Moulin Rouge shouldn't be nominated for special affects you need to watch the movie again.

Just shutup every single one of you and stop being so narrow minded (apart from Thomas H- someone with common sense). Use your BRAINS!!!!!! The awards are about SPECIAL EFFECTS not bloody storyline and like it or not, PH had the best special effects of the year. It's not an opinion, it's a FACT!

! (moded, no need to call other posters certain things just because they dont see eye to eye with you)

well the others doesn't seem to agree, so that makes it an opinion after all. I don't think PH had the best special-effects, not by a long shot. your opinion clearly comes from the fact that you like PH and see everything about it in a positive way, you can't see any negative sides because you love it so much.

I tought the movie was great, a specially the special effects!

I liked the effects in PH too, movie sucked though, but the effects were cool. But I really liked the LOTR effects to and that movie was awesome so...

LOTR is a 10 out of a 10, one of the greatest movies I have ever seen!!!!

The nominations make perfect sense to me. There was nothing wrong with PH's special effects but the nominees are better.

Too bad I can't find that old GL quote about movies for special effects sake being boring..

I'm am NOT being biased 'cos even if I hated the film I would still be moaning! The effects looked so real while not all of LOTR did.

By the way, I liked LOTR, apart from the first hour!

I agree with Badboy and TH. I really didn't like Pearl Harbour but it should've got nominated for Effects, Score and Cinematogrophy.

agree
