Do you think HP will ever have a shot at an Oscar?

At any rate, I certainly don't think it deserved to
win anything for the PS/SS effort, as much as I
enjoyed the film while in the cinema.

Peter Jackson from LOTR.

I agree completely, although I would argue that the
biggest problem with Columbus' directing is in the
way he frames shots rather than in the way he directs
the actors. The scene where the kids meet Fluffy and
scream made me cringe, as did the constant floor-cam
shots of Snape. Columbus only has a career because
he had the good sense to do a John Hughes movie. =P

Oh, well. I still can't wait for the DVD. The extra
features are making me drool already...plus it'll
hopefully tide me over until OotP is released!
