does anyone think these results will be in any way similar to the Oscars?

Whilst its good to see fellow Aussies take top Honours, it has to be re-stated many times that Moulin Rouge was an absolute pig of a film. How the f*ck it could even be considered is beyond belief. Nicole & Ewan singing for f*cks sake.

And Harry Poofter? well we can leave that to the kiddies and friends of kiddies.

LOTR though is probably the flick of this decade so far. Superb in so many ways.
If it doesn't win Oscars then the whole thing is a sham!

BioHazRd

I'm afraid I gotta agree - Moulin Rouge - I just didn't get it.
LOTR better win something at the oscars, or as Clinical waste says, it will show just what a sham the whole thing is

MarcusGarvey

Yeah, the most popular kids films should always get the Oscars and the ones with the biggest box office gross and great special effects. Sham indeed.

Moulin rouge.... How did you not "get it"? It was a love story, like so many films are, but it was a musical and truly was spectacularspectacular. The acting was superb. Direction and cinematography........c'est tres beaucoup magnifique... Soundtrack....bon nuit monsieur.


Lord of the rings is an excellent film, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The acting was great, the story was great the look of the film was great, but in my opinion, Moulin Rouge stood out from it as a film no one had seen anything like before.

I'd give the 2 films five out of five, but for me, moulin rouge had the edge. Top 2 films of last year certainly.

Clinical Waste

Yeah right up there with Mary F*ckin Poppins and the Sound of Music.

Maybe when you finish 'school' you can go and see Big people films, then you'll know.
AND don't wear your Harry Potter T.

the celtic tiger

lord of the rings is nothing like mary poppins OR the sound of music. granted, they have the same basic story lines but Julie andrews just wasn't in Lord of the rings.


i have to go to class now. we're reading "ann and barry talk sh1te about films they have probably never seen". I'm getting a little chilly as well what with only wearing this harry potter t-shirt.


GRIFENDORE RULE!
