12 Moulin Rouge (WHY???????)

Because everyone has an opinion. The same as how I can't see why McKellan has a nommo

[Champion of the Force]

Best British Film
Bridget Jones's Diary
Gosford Park
Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone
Iris
Me Without You
How does that work? I know HP was written by a British author and starred an all-British cast, but I thought it would be classified as American due to who made it (Columbus + Warner Bros).

I know other films have been classified as American for much less.

[ReaperFett]

Depends on the criteria. The standard for that might be that so many things had to be British.

[CMJ]

If a substantial portion of the money put up is British..it alos can be classified as British Film. Were the producer's British??

[Jedi Master Carr]

I thought Mckellan did a great job as Gandalf but that is just my opinion.

[Marcus Telcontar]

McKelland was brilliant as Gandalf.

[Darth23]

Except for that WWF Wizards duel. :p

Yeah - he was great - he deserves all the nominations he can get. Isn't his role more of a supporting one, though?

[Marcus Telcontar]

:: Does double check::

Up for ACTOR? Not support?


Err........ Support yes, Actor? That's pushing it.

[ReaperFett]

Actor's Guild put him up for supporting, with Broadbent and Hayden Christiansen
