Not even a tribute either. The highest grossing movie franchise of all time and the Oscars don't even mention it? It's just a disgrace.

I am annoyed yes because they deserved to win all of the awards they were up for and they deserved more nominations. This was the final year Potter would be eligble to be nominated. At the very least it should have got a tribute video or been in one of the montages but they didn't even do that. :bored:

You are taking this all wrong
the Oscars have to show all that died the last year

Yes there was, a 2 minute long tribute video would have been fine and showed that the Academy gave recognition to Potter and it's positive impact on the film industry. Potter has not been given recognition once by the Academy over the whole 10 years and they haven't won a single Oscar. I find that appalling. They could have done a tribute if they so wished, they chose not to because there's a pure snobbery towards Fantasy films that do well at the Box office at the Academy unless they're directed by Peter Jackson or Martin Scorsese.

I know that and I would never want them to remove that segment but there were parts of the show which could have easily been taken out to allow a tribute for Potter.

No. The only reason it was nominated was because Martin Scorsese directed it. Hallows Part 2 is a better film in every way, still find it hard to believe that Hugo was up for Best Picture and Hallows wasn't. I can't comprehend it.

They have done 10 years - its over, now

I disagree. The visual effects in Hallows were much better, the effects used in the Battle sequences were outstanding and it should have won. Even film fans in general agree that Potter should have won that award, the effects in Hugo weren't even that good.

Why can you not work things out.

because it was fantastic, that's why.

It has a Great Deal to do why they will never win.

So your views are deluded, sadly

agreed, it has has impacted the movie industry like very few franchises have done. Sadly, the Academy, for whatever reason, think by doing stuff like that it will drag down the 'high-class' feeling of it all, and they wonder why no one watches this anymore.

There's a reason why it holds a 96% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and that's because it's a great film which got loads of critical acclaim. Sadly the Academy chose to ignore it but it doesn't take away the fact that Potter is the highest grossing film franchise of all time, a feat which it strongly deserves.

No they were not, I don't know where you've got that information from but it's wrong. The Potter films were made primarily in Leavesden Studios in Britain.

Plus even if they were made in NZ why should that stop them from winning? The Lord of the Rings films were filmed in NZ and they won loads of Oscars.

But the Academy can pick who they want.
