JediNyt Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Well the Academy Awards are coming soon and Im glad to see that Ep2 got nominated for best visual effects. It shoud have gotten nominated for much more but as usual the academy has its head up its ass. But what if we were to decide who and what got the awards? So let this be the Lucas Forums Oscar thread. Each person posts a list of nominations for all the catagories they choose to nominate for. If youre wondering what all the catagories are in order its like this(I checked the paper): Best Picture Actor Actress Supporting Actor Supporting Actress Director Foreign Film Original Screenplay Adapted Screenplay Animated Feature Film Art Direction Cinematography Sound Sound Editing Visual Effects Original Score Original Song Costume Documentary Feature Documentary (Short Subject) Film Editing Makeup Animated Short Film Live Action Short Film Honorary Award Of course you dont have to nominate for all of em as I said before, just the ones you want. After a while I will count all the nominations and post the winners in another thread. Cool? Now lets get to it. My nominations are: Best Picture: Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones Best Actor: Ewan McGregor, Star Wars Best Actress: Kirsten Dunst, Spiderman Supporting Actor: Ian McKellen, Lord of the Rings Supporting Actress: Miranda Otto, Lord of the Rings Director: George Lucas, Star Wars Original Screenplay: Star wars Adapted Screenplay: Lord of the Rings Art Direction: Star Wars Cinematography: Lord of the Rings Sound: Star Wars Sound Editing: Star Wars Visual Effects: Star Wars Original Score: Star Wars, John Williams Costume: Lord of the Rings Film Editing: Star Wars Makeup: Lord of the Rings Animated Short Film: Mike's New Car Now It may look like Im totally biased to Star Wars but Im not. I saw a lot of movies last year and SW was my favorite. After looking at all the competion I truly think SW deserves those awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova_wolf Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Quoted from JediNyt: My nominations are: Best Picture: Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones Best Actor: Ewan McGregor, Star Wars Best Actress: Kirsten Dunst, Spiderman Supporting Actor: Ian McKellen, Lord of the Rings Supporting Actress: Miranda Otto, Lord of the Rings Director: George Lucas, Star Wars Original Screenplay: Star wars Adapted Screenplay: Lord of the Rings Art Direction: Star Wars Cinematography: Lord of the Rings Sound: Star Wars Sound Editing: Star Wars Visual Effects: Star Wars Original Score: Star Wars, John Williams Costume: Lord of the Rings Film Editing: Star Wars Makeup: Lord of the Rings Animated Short Film: Mike's New Car If SW DARE get any of the ones you have predicted (in particular, I find the idea of George Lucas best Steve Jackson - NO WAY!), blood will be spilt. Awards that LOTR : TTT could (and SHOULD) easily win - Best Movie (Oh YEAH will it win!) Best Director (Jackson or Lucas... Umm.. Toughie that one... NOT!) Best Visual Effects (Helms Deep or Geonosis... Really, come ON people) Best Actor (How could EpII Ewan POSSIBLY be rated better than Aragorn or Legolas. Even YODA deserves it more than Ewan) Supporting Actor Supporting Actress Original Score Costume Adapted Screenplay Cinematography I will admit to being not too pleased with the PT to date, but how can you SERIOUSLY SW to beat LOTR to the extent you have predicted. TTT was better. Not just than PT, but the OT. More polished, better acted, FAR better script, action was more nitty gritty, with sceanary that composed of more than a large wide open space! Sorry, flame me if you must, but LOTR :TTT was superior in every way. I just cannot stand to see the tripe Beardy has produced beat such a labour of love, and effort. It REALLY would be a travesty. If EpII wins over TTT, I will PERSONALLY maim the Academy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 This stinks! This is total BS! *stomps out fo room* Ok ok so maybe I'm not quite that mad but close to it! Andy Sirkis should so be on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Originally posted by nova_wolf with sceanary that composed of more than a large wide open space! Ahem... STAR WARS Think about it. You can't compare the two. One's fantasy. One's Sci-Fi. And yes, they are different things. There is a thread to debate this here in the cantina as to which is better... Well, I love SW, but I am sure there were better things than just TTT and SW... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 There are more movies then Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. *gets killed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Originally posted by obi-wan13 There are more movies then Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. *gets killed* I totally agree. The debate between the two is effects. I mean, the story for TTT is all from a book, so adaptaion might be what they win as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediNyt Posted February 13, 2003 Author Share Posted February 13, 2003 Umm perhaps people didnt read the instructions very well. This is not a debate thread. It is an Oscar thread to post what movies and actors, etc. you think should get the awards. A nomination thread, nothing more. I was thinking that when enough people have posted I would count all the nominations and post the winners of each catagory. Is that too hard to understand? I must say that Im slightly offended of what the people who have replied done. You acted like it was some debate between SW and LotR. Wtf? I posted my nominations now you post yours. How hard is that? If you want to critisize peoples opinions then you came to the wrong thread. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
