You see the problem is that I've just been asleep and you guys go and have a discussion without me. :frowning:
Secondly, The Matrix actually did win Oscars. It won four Oscars (technical categories), second only to American Beauty that year.
I can't work out if you think you're making a point or you're just being facetious.
I don't consider the technical oscars as 'counting'. I mean, since Jurassic Park, there have been no films that have impressed me very much in visual effects. Matrix had it's bullet time stuff but I'd already seen it used in that Gap advert about a billion times and also in a BBC TV ad.
I don't think people really note the technical ones - I was talking about the main ones like Best Picture and Best Director, etc. as these are the ones that get people all steamed up, as we see here.
I only have 2 favourite movies. There are tonnes I enjoy but I can't number them. Those two are:
1= The Empire Strikes Back
1= Fight Club
