Title: The Lord of the Rings: Bafta nominations
Post by: ooseven on January 19, 2004, 02:42:41 AM

The Lord of the Rings:RoTK gets 12 Bafta nominations.

Quote

The Return of the King is just one nomination behind Cold Mountain\'s tally, but the majority of its nominations are in technical categories, mirroring the Bafta recognition for the other two films in Peter Jackson\'s trilogy.

The Bafta awards have been taken increasingly seriously by Hollywood since its ceremony date was moved in 2001 so they took place before the Oscars rather than afterwards.

what\'s bafta mean?  They would be taken much more seriously if they had a cooler name for their award.  An Oscar vs. a Bafta.
