I used to follow them until I got tired of all the nonsense. A lot of times it's not who should win for the movie they did this year, they win for the movie they did three years before but lost out (e.g. Ron Howard should have won for Apollo 13 but ended up with an Oscar a few years later for a movie I don't even remember). ROTK got all the credit for the entire LOTR series, but each of those movies could have held up on their own. I feel they were snubbed so the Academy could honor other movies who may or may not have deserved it, but it was their 'time'. You also have to look at the people who are doing the judging. Philadelphia had much better, more subtle hair and makeup, but lost out to Mrs Doubtfire because that was more obvious. It's all for show. that being said, I do still enjoy hearing who one and if my favorites were among them. I'm just advising not to put too much stock into whether or not your favorite wins or even gets nominated. It's very political. And it's all for show.

Do you think they could have still made the Dwarves appealing

I second the opinion that this wasn't an Oscar movie

Exactly. In LOTR, Gimli stood out.

In Brian Sibley's book, the Official Movie Guide, he talks about the size

Absolutely. The talent to pull it off is there, from acting and writing to design, and everything in-between.
