Peter Jackson was robbed!!

Rating: Null/10 (1 April 2002)

Now more than ever I am convinced that the Oscars are a sham. Peter Jackson DESERVED to win best director. He orchestrated the making of three epic movies simultaneously, directing thousands of actors, extras and crew. He made a movie that was believed untranslatable to the big screen, and satisfied thousands of Tolkien fans in the process.
I never expected the Academy to vote LOTR for best picture (too much fantasy, no Russell Crowe and without a neat and tidy Hollywood ending) but Jackson definitely deserved the honour of best director.
