Well actually they did win something for best affects... www.pirates3news.com
Here's something i've noticed on Yahoo Movies there were votes casted on who would win the oscars. The voting poll was almost 100% correct except for the categories in which POTC was in. POTC always have the majority of votes of yahoo users. But curiosly when it came to the oscars they've lost. Here's the link for those who want it.

the only category in which yahoo users vote was not a mojority on POTC was against dreamgilrs on Achievement in Sound Mixing but only for 3%
I'm gratefull that we got one...that's good enough for now. The oscars standrads are totally opposite from what the people want...in a way I respect the choice awards most of all and surprisingly the Golden Globes more than the Oscars!
I guess GG are more fun and relaxed and the Academy Awards seem a bit fake and formal. I love it and see it every year anyways. I guess because of the excitement and curiosity 馃槃
Anywho great win! I'm proud. deserved it too! WOOT for DMC!
See im english, and even i know that half of the films that are up for nomination are complete and utter turd lol.
BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Potc will probably be one of the best loved films for years to come, because it has broke the boundaries that many films haven't;
It has made characters into household names!!!! 馃槃
Like hansolo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Darth Vader....
People will remember Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth Swann and Davy Jones for a VERRRRRY long time 馃槃
(Notice i didn't say william turner...but i guess people will probably refer to him as the kid who was played by that elf in lord of the rings lmao 馃檪....coincidentally, another character that will live on in the history of film )
im quite keen to see JD nominated for Jack again in film 3. It would be lovely to see him win, since this character is so well loved. Unfortunately i think you guys are right-- the academy's tastes arent really for the melodramas or the action films, no matter how good. but let's take a cue from Lord of the Rings--- much scammed the first two times around, and the third time around, they swept the house up and won everything they were nominated for. if film 3 is any good at all, it will have a decent shot at getting recognition.
i was delighted that The Departed won--- Scorcese finally got one. lol. it was quite a good film, though i wouldnt have pegged it as the winner.
I was really hoping Leo would win for Blood Diamond. I was so, so impressed by that film.
