The Best Picture winner won less Oscars than another movie at the show. The Aviator ended up with five while Million Dollar Baby took four. Back in 1977 that happened as well when Annie Hall won four Oscars including Best Picture against Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope which got six.

But let's talk about the big ones - those are the ones that matter. Live and learn Lecter.

Picture - Win
Director - Win
Actor - Lose
Actress - Win
Supporting Actor - Win
Supporting Actress - N/A - No entry

So lets talk about those 4/6. Come on Lecter, stay on the ball.

...

that's not the point, Goldie. The thread is not trying to put down MDB at all, l don't think...it's just an interesting fact.

You dont really see a big budget hollywood flick get beat down by a very smaller darker film do ya :wink:

More and more, there is no guideline to follow in predicting.

Ok but if it was worth a thread then I wanted to point that out.

4/6 is better than the 5 smaller ones.

Or maybe I am wrong Lecter. Then Marty is probably happier than Clint tonight - hey Marty beat Clint 5 to 4.

Marty's film only won awards because it had a large budget and a great actress. They didn't compliment HIS film or HIM at all, though.

Goldie, i'm coming very close to warning you again .. stay off lecter's back when you have no reason to keep on criticsing every post he writes!!

Did you have to attack him in the thread, MR MOD.

:wink:

When was the last time a film took major Oscars having won only one guild award?

Seriously, like I mentioned last night in the chat, precident is out the window now. Oscar nominations, guild wins, I don't think they matter or at least matter as much.

You know what i mean ...

Sorry Baba,

But again I don't chase Lecter into every posts. Go through Lecter's posts and see how often I follow him.

And this is a thread - BIG DIFFERENCE - I don't even think that this deserves a thread. It is just a small minor thing. That is just my personal opinion. ( Cause I think Lecter was deflecting his picks on the Aviator and his non pick of Swank ) But since it got a thread, I think it deserves a response.

I REALLY THINK THAT THE 4/6 SHOULD BE MENTIONED - I WOULD HAVE POSTED THAT TO ANYONE.

-------------------------

Believe me, I could have started plenty on MDB. But I think they could be handled within the other started threads so I am not starting them.

Goldie .. considering you create a nonsense thread every other day, you're in no position to outline whats a good thread and whats not. This thread speaks of a certain fact.

And honestly, this week, i've seen you take atleast 8 to 9 shots at lecter forno apparent reason whatsoever. If i see this behaviour continue, I'll be forced to employ another banning.

Nonsense threads? - If they are nonsense threads, close them down.

And I finished with the discussion about Lecter as even though yesterday, he was taking shots at me - so there are apparent reasons.

The End - Off to work.

I dont close almost anything unless its not a duplicate. If he takes shotss at you unprovoked, tell me .. cause so far, all i find is you constantly picking on him for no apparent reason.

I like the fact that Lecter pointed it out since it hadn't happened like forever. It's very rare, so it certainly deserves its own thread. I didn't see Lecter implying anywhere The Aviator was snubbed for the big ones. He is actually pretty happy since he has problem with The Aviator's script and editing. So this is totally just pointing out a very unique fact.

I still think The Aviator will be remembered for years to come, certainly not as well as Star War or Cabaret, the previous two films in such case, but people will still talk about it.

Eastwood and Scorsese are now tied with Allen I think for having directed the most actors to Oscar wins (5)

William Wyler holds the record at 13.

Good fact.

I made that observasion as well Doc.

Have you swallowed too much caffeine or do you just enjoy making stupid posts?

It was 4 out of 7 by the way
