neverwhereAbsolutely furious about Oscar nominations. Or rather, THE LACK THEREOF.
Can't even talk right now, am so angry, and utterly, utterly disappointed.
Sigh.

Date: 2003-02-11 02:37 pm (UTC)I think that the various small film industries around the world should gang up with the Lord of the Rings, a few over-looked British and US art films, and all take over Hollywood together. Then they could have an awards ceremony for art films, films-in-languages-other-than-English and fantasy/sci-fi films, and ignore the rest of the rubbish. Damn it, I'd pay money to watch that!! Maybe they could even set up a tv section, and finally give Buffy the plaudits it deserves...
The fact that the Oscars have the patronising "Best Foreign Film" award when the US is only the second biggest film producing country in the world anyway, and when the best cinema at the moment is apparently being made in Iran, is some indication of how silly things are. Peter Jackson's in *very* good company being ignored like this, which I hope is some comfort.
And in addition, I imagine that they're only doing it so that they don't have to be repeating themselves when they shower RotK with plaudits next year.
Nevertheless.... grrrrrr! And *huggggss* to you!
*cuddles*
Ellyyyyy

Date: 2003-02-11 02:59 pm (UTC)Oh, I'm quite sure they've all decided to wait until ROTK to give them any sort of proper recognition. But of course by then there'll be another 'amazing' film that all the critics love and will certainly beat LOTR for the best film Oscar once again. *growls*
It's amazing how everyone (critics I mean) realize how terrific Buffy is, and praise the writing to the skies, but it still gets no respect. Why is everything I love doomed to such a fate? *sighs*

How in the world did TT miss out on makeup? There's only two bloody movies nominated for the category.
I certainly won't be watching them this year. Now the Baftas on the other hand...

The BAFTAs are on 23 Feb, but I'm doing a show that night. Monkey poop! *kicks the ground*
You could still come down and crash the party though. ;-)
