Did The Last Samurai win anything aside form "favorite movie of all time" from me?

On a sidenote, there were some hot actresses. :)

Sorry, 11/11. Tied with Ben Hur and *ugh* Titanic for most oscars.

what is with all the animosity against Titanic? granted, it is a pretty sappy movie but it was well done, just a little over-played

Though I believe it won the most ever for being a sweep, as in Ben Hur and Titanic were nominated for more than the 11 they won and RoTK won everything it was nominated for.

I figured this would happen. The academy didn't really want to give LotR awards every year so they wait for the third one and award them for the trilogy. I think it's great. They deserve every one of those awards. LotR was a masterpiece. It required experts in every field to make it possible. Hooray for Lord of the Rings!

I'm surprised that the Matrix Reloaded and the Matrix Revolutions weren't nominated for the technical and sound oscars..whichever ones that they were. There weren't a lot of movies nominated for anything infact. Well, good for Lord of the Rings.

I'm going to see Sea Biscuit very soon! :D I like horses.
Into The West is a great song! :D

And ZR, each catagory had a maximum of 5 nominees... And yeah perhaps The Matrix movies should have had 1 or 2 nominations... :unsure: :p

*wonders what this 'Viper' is beneath his name*

Seabiscuit is a good movie, but it was just missing something in my view. The cenematography was jaw dropping during the racing scene's though, so it should have won for that.

Titanic sucked... flat out... SUCKED. Everyone got so caught up with the details of how they recreated the ship and all the money they spent, and looked over Billy Zane's Smidely Whiplash-esque perfromance, the hack writing that seemed more like a day time soap opera than a serious drama and the fact that Leonardo DeCaprio was HORRIBLY miscast. And for God's sake... MOVE OVER YOU FAT BITCH!! THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM ON THAT HEADBOARD!!!ARRGGGHHH!!!! Awful awful terrible waste of film.

I think Matrix Revolutions should have been nominated for a technical award. Afterall the special effects were that movie's only saving grace. I think the overall awfulness of the movie cursed it, though.

But those are just my opinions, I could be wrong.

First you say you are leaving, and then you say you are just coming back and you are going to post less often. Now your a moderator which requires you to be here often. Make up your mind man. :p

P.S. Congrats on the new job.
