[HPFGU-Movie] Re: GOF gets Academy Award nominations!

[Betsy Cortes]

I was really surprised when I heard that GoF only got 1 nomination.  I actually thought it was going to get like three nominations (special effects, sound, costume and make up).  But now, we'll have to wait until next year to see how OoTP does.

  Hee, hee!  
    
  Valerie continues:
  Still, I thought GOF was an outstanding movie; quite the cinematic achievement.
akh concurs:
  
  Having seen it (somewhat inadvertently) five times, I agree that it holds up well under scrutiny.  
  
  That said, I wasn't entirely surprised that it didn't pick up a lot of  nominations, although I'll admit I thought it might qualify for more  technical awards.  Our most recent mega-franchise movies, Lord of  the Rings, were barely recognized until the final movie, and I wouldn't  be surprised if the same happens to the Harry Potter franchise.   Too many awards too soon gives them nowhere to go. Plus, whether  conscious or not, voters may know "there's always next year," when it  comes to nominating HP, a statement that might not be made for, say,  "War of the Worlds."
  
  akh, who knows the phrase "there's always next year" only too well, living on the North side of Chicago...
