[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Oscars

[Mary Shearer]

I was disappointed that it didn't get a nod for cinemetography - the
lighting was beautiful, and the rich jeweled tones of the film are what
drew me back again and again - eye candy!  Just saw it again last night
- dove in to the theater with my daughter who was begging to see it
again for no good reason.  That shot of Harry in the snow with Hedwig -
he looked like an angel - and the ghostly lighting of the Mirror of
Erised scene - not to mention that gorgeous-to-look-at flying lesson.
A pretty, pretty film in my opinion, and I think I'll go and pout about
the Academy's woeful lack of taste.
-Mary, who has no time for all of the edgy, gritty, cynical movie
critics who said that HP was too "sweet" or "bland"  and believes that
HP was kept out of Oscar contention largely because of it's cultural
popularity.
