I dont know how no one expected this.
LOTR - well written! Had fans & SAG members loving it.
HP - only fans. Like Star Wars.
HP is receiving a special Oscar in recognition of its contributions to the cinema. They are all going to receive it when they do the Special effects award show. I read it here in Snitchseeker. We should be happy that those who worked in the field are being recognized, the Art direction, Makeup & Visual effects. Congratulations to the HP team!
One more: BAFTA didnt do any better in recognizing HP either. Didnt nominate in one of the main fields. They will get the special award though...
Congrats to HP! Your fans still love you...
