Did anyone see the American Film Institute Awards tonight?  In their ads 
promoting it on TV, they showed numerous shots of  'HP and the Sorcerer's 
Stone', like it was going to be featured- and guess what?  It wasn't even 
considered one of the Top Ten movies of the year!   As they would go to 
commercial, among other things, they'd show a short  snippet of a film that 
didn't make the cut; and it was there that they showed when Harry got his 
invisibility cloak.   So they used HP in ads to get viewers, and then snubbed 
it.  Guess we shouldn't be too surprised, Hollywood can be very pompous 
around the awards' season.  By the way, Lord of the Rings won for movie of 
the year.
