[[My Predictions for Fellowship]]. Stay tuned for predictions on how I think it will actually do. I’ll give you a hint… I think it actually *will* win Best Film (and it’s not just because [[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring]] :-). I’ll explain how and why later.

The judges should be ashamed of themselves!

##Were they on crack?

Everyone, and I mean **EVERYONE**, who was watching the pairs skating competition knows that the Canadians won.

Only the Polish and Chinese judges thought that the Russians were better. The Russians had 4 errors in their program, while the Canadians skated a clean program.

This reminds me of the Olympics, years ago, when Paul Wylie got robbed of the Gold. He was the only competitor of the medal winners that skated a clean program, and he endeed up with a bronze.

The judging system of figure skating needs to be completely rethought.

Judges… you should be ashamed of yourselves.

The two front runners are Mind and Fellowship.

The LA Times believes that his year is perhaps the best chance that a fantasy film has ever had to take home the best picture award.

Here’s my predictions for what Fellowship will be nominated for tomorrow morning

###Fellowship will be nominated in the following categories

1. Picture
2. Director
3. Adapted Screenplay
4. Supporting Actor (Ian McKellen)
5. Art Direction
6. Music Score
7. Song (May it Be)
8. Cinematography
9. Visual Effects
10. Costumes
11. Makeup
12. Editing
13. Sound

We’ll find out tomorrow if I’m right!

Here, here! Roger! I agree with everything you have to say regarding any controversy surrounding this film. I haven’t yet seen it, but I’d like to after your review.

Jordan [a minister who is protesting the film] added that he has not seen the film. His criticism is therefore theoretical. He believes making a firefighter a vigilante in a movie made before the attacks is an insult now that the attacks have taken place. Would it have been an insult even if the attacks had not taken place? Why is it an insult? Should a firefighter not feel like avenging the murder of his family? As to the film’s view of Colombia, since the guerrillas are shown as drug traffickers and enemies of the government, it seems clear they are not considered the majority of Colombians. The AP, which would not run the review of a critic who had not seen the film, felt Jordan was sufficiently qualified to attack it sight unseen. We await his further insights once he has seen it.

Perhaps the timing of this movie is just PERFECT! I mean, wouldn’t we all like some vengence like Arnie gets in this movie?

Be honest!

One Ring to rule them all…

I found this picture, and somebody’s got way too much time on their hands! But you just gotta love the creativity!

3 over in 3 holes?

OUCH!

[[Tiger]] needs to get back on track. It’s been a while since he’s been a factor in any tournament.

He’s won the Buick before, so it might not mean that much to him. But if he wants a shot at any of the majors this year, he better get focused!

The Writers Guild of America has nominated Peter, his wife Fran Walsh, and Philipa Boyens for their work in adapting FOTR

We’ll keep our fingers crossed for you!

I just want to see if multiple events are handled properly.
