Are you seriously comparing either of these series to twilight?
killjoy6715
That's because the twilight movies are shit and HP was ok, but mostly because twilight was shit

A good chunk of lotr's cast hadn't either
YoSoyMilk
The Harry Potter franchise was nominated for 12 though.
EnjiNightsHips
Am interesting point, but who gives a shit what the academy thinks of movies? Not me
perkdrip
Crash won best picture. Time to stop pretending that popularity contest has any integrity.
AurorOwl
Fantastic Beasts won an Oscar, so does that count?
MotherfuckingRollyPolyChubbyCheekedShitMachine
What even is Twilight doing in here, those pictures are displayed on the seven circle of hell to make murderers cry
PassionateIndifference
Do I honestly need to explain to you why to you why twilight didnt get any oscars?
LunarRhythm
Harry Potter has the kind of commercial success both in print and on the big screen that it doesn't really need an Oscar. While LOTR (1/2)
LunarRhythm
also has a similar sort of success, but with Oscars, it also wasn't catered towards children initially. Also, Oscars are given to worse 2/3
LunarRhythm
films all the time, so the overall value of the award is honestly debatable. (3/3)
mrfloris
Have not seen happy rotter or mew noon anyway
ImNotThatPunny
In Twilights defense, it was a piece of shit
STGxDante
U don't just get an Oscar you have to apply for it, and go through preliminary voting until there is only the top 4 left.1 wins out of the 4
Panzerosu
OMG I have omphalophobia and I just almost puked
upsidedownyhead
LOTR is just people walking.
CatsIsTheAnswer
I'll tell you more: 12 Angry Men is just people talking.
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
To be fair. Twilight sucked.
MadMupp
Because the first ones are utter shite
GameOfLiesAndDeath
Quality over quantity.
YoSoyMilk
I mean that's just because of the number of source books
doctorbees
*Does not apply to the Hobbit trilogy.

and we won't bring The Hobbit into this analogy at all then shall we..
AdvonKoulthar
Well it did say 3 movies....

Is this post comparing twilight to Harry Potter and LOTR? Bold move
MyAnacondaDontWantNoneUnlessYouGotPunsHun
Contrasting. It's kind of like comparing, except that it's the exact opposite.
flippywizgig
Sassy. I like it.
0ih469qy
It's comparing HP to TL. That is very much unfair. At least HP had books behind it.
ElaineThreepwood
I'm not saying twilight is any good. But it had books behind it as well.
0ih469qy
Not real books. You probably mean "paper shit". It's a common mistake.
lestanzero
Favri
twilight AND harry potter to LOTR...
iTzAwesomesauce
This post is so old that Twilight was still relevant when it was made.
LannistersSendTheirRetards
Yeah show a stupid picture of the cast but LOTR was an absolute masterpiece. Harry Potter was fantastic but could've been better
LannistersSendTheirRetards
Like Michael gambon ruining the entire goblet of fire movie with his unnecessary intensity
valarjk
"he asked calmly"
JeriSanchez
Also the Oscar's is a joke.
NachoTaker
Really? Harry Potter hasn't won any?
HawasKaPujari
ITT people getting mad about HP.
EatingFiftyBagels
upsidedownyhead
LOTR total length is probably more than the combinations of those other franchises
STGxDante
Twilight is such a fucking joke the 1 movie I saw. I thought it was another spoof movie until 1 1/2hrs in.
laserchampagne
Suicide Squad won an Oscar too. Just sayin...
SKELETONMAAAN
SO YOU BE SAYIN

Oscars, Grammys, it's all just a big circlejerk for celebrities.

Yeah, it reslly should have gone to Star Trek Beyond

That's because the cast and crew of LOTR cared about the movies considerably more. Also they didn't change directors like Harry Potter did.
GimmeGhostBoots
You know the movie follows almost none of the plot of the books, right? Peter Jackson is a money grabbing swine.
0ih469qy
To be true, i enjoyed the different angles and visual styles of the various directors in HP saga.
B3ARMAN1
Fair enough. I didn't like them being in street clothes on campus though. It was very untrue to the books.
0ih469qy
I never thought of that, to be honest.
B3ARMAN1
Not many people did. It's just off-putting to me because the books made a point of stating they were basically always in their robes.
Dgym
I think the people behind Potter certainly cared (can't speak for Twilight). But I also think Tommy Wiseau really cared about The Room.
IWishThatICouldSeeYouSoon
You're tearing me apart with this comment.
51CorgisInABar
Anyway, how's your sex life?
chaoslordjiro
Also because the Oscars are just an industry circle-jerk. All politics and traditions; quality is tertiary at best.
Kalnu
I did and probably always will think that Harry Potter would have benefitted better as an animated feature than a live action movie. GOT too
aSophiebear
LOTR didnt change their anything because the films were shot at the same time. HP HAD to be filmed over 10 years...
B3ARMAN1
True but they didn't need to change directors. The third movie was where it started going downhill in my opinion.
aSophiebear
They actually did have several scheduling conflicts several times over the years.
annaZon
AND THEIR BADASS BEARDED WIZARD LIVED THROUGH THE WHOLE SERIES
51CorgisInABar
He did die, briefly
Vizreki
To be fair Gandalf is like a Demi-God, whereas Albus was just the best wizard but still "human"
annaZon
I should have clarified, but I'm referring to the actor rather than the character.
B3ARMAN1
Fair point. although Sir Ian McKellen did a much better job as Gandalf compared to Michael Gambon as Dumbledore.

MrWoland
Me thinks American nepotism. Why would they give Oscars to british actors when there's American ones?
XFMR
A lot of the cast were definitely not American. Astin, Wood and Mortensen are but Viggo barely counts since he grew up abroad.
tehflan
Do you actually think Harry Potter is better than Lord of the Rings?
MrWoland
No, but Lotr is hardly 17 oscars better
SaucyFineBolognaFactory
LOTR had a pretty diverse cast in terms of nationality surely. Elijah Wood, Liv Tyler, Sean Astin are American but who else?
MrWoland
Well, I meant compared to the Harry potter movies
SaucyFineBolognaFactory
Ah fair enough
