Well the Oscars are all about which movie gets the biggest marketing push from their respective studios, so I'm not surprised at all by who won. It's why the wonderful Millennium Actress wasn't even nominated for best animated feature even though it blows away Nemo in every aspect, and why Twilight Samurai didn't win that Best Foreign picture (Harvey Weinstein of Miramax heavily promoted the picture that won), etc. But oh well, that is how things are.
And really guys, saying that Rings should have won every single nomination when none of you saw all of the other nominated pictures is pretty silly, don't you think? It would be like someone who had only played Prince of Persia in 2003 claiming that it should win every video game award. It is indeed an incredible game, but did it have a deeper story than Kotor or better music than Castlevania? Of course not. That doesn't make it any less of an amazing game, but really, there are more deserving games in certain categories.
Have you ever seen a Samurai movie before? And I don't mean Rurouni Kenshin. ;)
