Yes, your right there doing not well. At least Ian doing a good. But everyone please go to this "YOUR VOTE COUNTS" now I sound like a debate. Hee. Well Really u should vote. Thanks.

That is poll to see who the public want to win the Oscars, not the actual voting. That is done by the Academy.

Yeah. If the general public selected the Oscars, the film industry would be in a lot of crudulence.

Evenstar · 02-23-2002, 11:24 PM

hehe...yeah well it's still fun to do!!!

At least Ian McKellan's in the lead for best supporting actor . . . the Academy does tend to be somewhat affected by popularity and the amount of money put into a film (Titanic, anyone?). Hopefully I'm not just deluding myself.

On the other hand, there is also often a backlash against commercial success... Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T. and Saving Private Ryan, anyone?

I certainly think that LoTR is getting the shaft in the awards this year, despite the fact that it was so successful at the box office (not that that says much; look how well the 'bubblegum' flicks have been doing). But there are still 2 more films to come, I have hope.
