Yes. Michael Jennings comments on this post, thus:

I actually didn't mind all the dreary New Zealanders making speeches. The main reason I felt this is because their story is as good as it is. The story of how Jackson started filming members of his family running around waving axes at one another and ended up making movies for hundreds of millions of dollars that grossed billions of dollars and won eleven Academy Awards on the same evening is an immensely inspiring one and is a great story for him. But it is a great story for most of the other people as well. 21 people won Oscars for The Return of the King last night, and almost all of these have been working with Jackson for a long time as he has slowly been putting his film-making crew together. A number of them have been with him since Bad Taste, and a large portion since Heavenly Creatures. And oh boy, have they come a long way. And boy, do they all deserve their awards.

I wasn't doubting their expertise, or diligence, or general stick-at-it-ness. Well, only a very little. And I quite see that technicians can't be expected to make great Oscar speeches when the actors were all making such repulsively bad ones. So, fair enough.

I think the actors put me in a bad mood.
