What is wrong with the Academy?

STAR WARS - EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH is released in theatres Thursday, May 19th...I'll be at the midnight showing, and many more after that...for sure.

And:

Films: Star Wars…all of them

Hmmm...

hang

That aside... I am not at all surprised ROTS was snubbed as it was. Though that's not to say I think it neccessarily deserved it. VFX - yeah, it didn't deserve a nom there... like Ast said, nothing looked real and there was nothing new there. I think the noms in that category are worthy ones. WOTW has great special effects... though I think the award will go to Kong.

I think it is definitely deserving of a Costume nom... but it's obvious from the nominees that politics played a huge part in not only this category, but all the rest of 'em too.

As for John Williams... as I said in another thread a while ago, I'm not sure if it counts as being 'original' anymore as a lot of themes from the other films were used. That said, I think ROTS had the best score of any film, and not only of last year... Good to see Williams nominated though... it just wouldn't be an Oscar ceremony without his name there at least once.

And for Sound mixing/editing... well I really don't know enough about it to comment there. But I thought it might at least get a nom there...

Makeup... Never really thought about it in much detal, but I guess it has a good shot in this category... I thought the burned Anakin was fablulous! And the tall alien guy on Utapau was great too...

Ian for Supporting Actor? You've got to be dreaming. His was an excellent performance... but not nearly oscar-worthy.

On another note: Kudos to the Academy for recognising Batman Begins for something at least...

What the hell is wrong with you? I don't hate Star Wars. Todd doesn't hate Star Wars. We just don't think it's the greatest thing ever made! Is that so hard to understand? My god, this place is starting to turn into MF where the only people who post are insane fanboys who can't see/talk/smell anything that isn't Star Wars and dream of having orgies with George Lucas, Rick McCallum and Jar Jar.

Oh, and this is for AST as well:

That post wasn't addressed to either of you.

I agree that you can like SW without being blind to it's faults/flaws.

I myself know that it has problems.

My issue is with a jerk who has to post crap like" the fanboys are crying tonight"... to express himself( which isn't necessary)but on his personal webpage praises starwars. And says he likes all of them. What makes him different from any other fan?

Oh and DD, I've been at these forums longer than you and, like I said yesterday, Ive got a baby sister older than you.

Don't refer to me as "fanboy" again.

Actually I've got seniority/age over AST, too. 😛

Look, no hard feelings boys, my issue was with Todd.

Unless you owe him money or something, let him respond to my post.

Whoopdy ****ing doo.

Ohh.. intelligent.

And mature. 🙄

You must have made all the girls swoon.

I don't have any prob with you AST. Why are you trying to fight someone else's argument?

Ohh... GO GIANTS!!!

😈

F*ck you...

I never raved about SITH on my site. NEVER...I was VERY excited about SITH, but it wasn't as good as it could have been...the first hour anyways. But you, are proving to be an idiot.

As for AST and DEVI|, at least its good to know I've associated with the intelligent KMC crowd. Thanks guys! Too bad we don't have DSA to chat about this without the moronic fanboys!

Hey...no one is more aware of my weaknesses that I am. 😉

BTW...

I'm quitting this...I think I've said my piece...and others have certainly chimed in as well. I'm done, and would please ask for you to stop antagonizing me, and my friends that I respect who have stood up for me without being asked.

Thanks!

Spoken like a true Man. WOOT! w00t

OK dude. That's cool. I guess I just TOTALLY misread what was on your site. I never meant to antagonize, just to clear things up. (Actually you started swearing, so I think you were the antagonist 😉 )

Good luck with your music/ movie scripts. I mean that.

I guess I got the wrong idea from reading your homepage, my mistake.

Don't hesitate to post if you see me on the boards, I will be cordial.surrender

And dont call me f*cking "fanboy". 😠

I know what that means, and I'm not one. I don't have any costumes, or books, or toys, I just happen to think SW is cool, including the new ones.

I see all of the faults in SW too.

(This was a general public service anouncement for any posters) 😄

DWW and Forrest Gump are good movies! 😠
