I think even if it doesn't win best picture, he could still be satisfied with the billions of dollars that the movies have made.

Sean Astin wasn't nominated for best supporting actor.

there should be a 'best acting ensemble' award....the acting in Lord of the Rings was very very solid but I don't think I could nominate any individual.

...Whoa, I didn't even know half those movies existed. I guess I'm not an avid movie-goer.

Crap. While I was typing, I got logged out and had to retype everything.. Ok:

Twin Sisters from The Netherlands!!

Hope LotR wins things. Best movie. PJ 'deserves' it.

Johnny Depp best actor? He made PotC, without him it's NOTHING.

A lot of Oscar movies are small independant films that aren't released outside of film festivals or select cities. A lot of these indie films depend on the Oscars to give them some publicity to get them known. The director's and actors/actresses win awards and go on to bigger (but not necessarily better) movies.

S'why a lot of people were upset when they tried to stop the Academy from giving the judges individual copies of the movies, meaning they would have to go out to see them on their own. If the judges were given copies of the indie films, they probably wouldn't see them at all and the indies would not gain that publicity.

That's far more information that you (didn't) ask for, but who's counting?

actually pretty much all of thoes were released in theatres everywhere.

A lot start off at select cities then go to the rest later on. we had to drive an hour to see Lost in Translation when we went. We didnt want to wait a week for it to come to the theatre near us. hehe

I always have to drive at least 35 minutes to go to a movie theater, it sort of sucks...and it's about an hour or hour and 15 minutes to the independent theaters in Philly. There are a few movies up there that were mainly in indie theaters like City of God, Thirteen, American Splendor, and any of the documentaries among others...Though usually those movies get smaller nominations like script, or editing, or best adapted screenplay, something like that.
