What the Hell?
Okay, I think I'll remain calm if I just don't remember the fact that Ron Howard beat Peter Jackson to Best Director. Nope, here I go again... AGHHHHH! What the fucking hell was that all about?! I'm sorry but I have lost faith yet again in the Academy in not being able to make a decent decision that not only reflects talent in their eyes, but also fan views. Yeah It may well be honour enough being nominated, but Baby Face Howard stole that Oscar right from under Jacksons nose. It was his. He worked over 5 years on a film, he filmed 3 films at once out of sequence (Yeah Howard whats a matter boy did you have to shoot in sequence because is it too complicated for you otherwise?) He juggled script, cast, creative decisions etc. He fucking earned it more than anyone ever in the history of the Oscars, and then this traversty occurs. I was not only shocked, I was devestated, appaled and angered by it. So much so I turned off the television. I just couldnt be bothered watching such a fiasco of an event. If i were the LOTR crew I would return every single one of those oscars back, if the academy don't feel they should honour Peter with his prize, then the crew should just reject theirs and wash their hands of the whole matter. Reading Yahoo just, I found out that 'A Beautiful Mind' has won best picture? Yeah way to go cram it a little harder down our throats don't ya. I think I should just stop watching these damn awards ceremonys, I just go through fits watching them. I'm going to bed. I'm pleased we got so many oscars in the end, but I just think it is terrible that this had to happen.
Final Oscar Update
Well, after three hours the big awards were finally announced - Best Director and Best Film. Both, unfortunately, went to A Beautiful Mind. Maybe next year, eh PJ? Cheers Sam
