I’ve already discussed the tactic Disney and Pixar are taking when trying to get Toy Story 3 a Oscar Best Picture win and the last poster brought a comparison to The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and it seemed to upset some of you they would even dare make the comparison. Does it bother you as much if the comparison this time around is Titanic?
As far as what the “Not since…” means here, my only guess is “Not since Titanic has the highest grossing film of the year won Best Picture,” but Return of the King was also the highest grossing film of its year, though its totals did carryover into 2004. Whatever else it could be I don’t know.
