God, no! Here we go again

Opinions differ as to CoO of these films. IMO the CoO is New Zealand. They were all produced by Peter Jackson's production company Wingnut Films , which is a New Zealand company.

Let the good times roll...yet again.

Now you've done it. After reading that thread he'll be even more confused

why where fellowship of the ring nominated for 13 oscars in 2002 then? the oscars are for american films whit one measly exception the best foreign film.

To state imdb and shurely whatever place you guys check out :

Copyright Holder
New Line Productions, Inc.

the list over producers are also quite convincing as every executive producer is held by new line
Peter Jackson ....  producer 
Michael Lynne ....  executive producer: New Line Cinema 
Mark Ordesky ....  executive producer: New Line Cinema 
Barrie M. Osborne ....  producer 
Rick Porras ....  co-producer: WingNut Films 
Tim Sanders ....  producer 
Jamie Selkirk ....  co-producer: WingNut Films 
Robert Shaye ....  executive producer: New Line Cinema 
Ellen Somers ....  associate producer (as Ellen M. Somers)
Fran Walsh ....  producer 
Bob Weinstein ....  executive producer 
Harvey Weinstein ....  executive producer 


and hey hey hey bob and harvey weinstein
they are americans too.

i do reconize this as a joint venture, but I am not convinced that the CoO is new zealand before usa.

Not to mention the fact that the software can't handle multinational co-productions, which can also lead to heated debates about which country should come first (as we have to pick just one, as it stands now).

Much debate would become unneccesary if DVDP would deal with CoO's in the form of a list of checkboxes, as we are already using for Subtitles (cf. this thread in Feature Requests).

Multiple CoO's, Ken!

Yeah, it really should be mentioned in the rules somewhere.
It's been stated by Gerri that the CoO field is for the country of the primary production company.
In the case of the LOTR films, that's Wingnut who are based in New Zealand.
It would be a lot easier if multiple CoOs were allowed, but until then we'll just have to keep arguing! 
And where did you get the idea that the Oscars were only for US films? Oh wait, maybe it's because they only ever nominate their own films!

Maybe I'm missing something and Ken/Gerri changed their mind, but this is the quote from Gerri:

Yes, that is the intention, Lord of the Rings would be US. It is where the production companies are based.

Elwood Blues is right.

Then we'll have people arguing which should be listed 1st...which should be listed 2nd...etc.
