Lord of The Rings Sweeps the Academy
They were nominated for 11 oscars, and they won them all. Well Deserved
sinead
maybe not all of them, but Return of The King was a very very well done movie. It deserved most of what it got.

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.

Maybe because it has such a large ensemble cast it is hard to pinpoint one performance. However, in my opinion, Sean Astin deserved a nod for best actor.

Sir Ian McKellan won for The Fellowship.
Professional Canadian.
the other actors in the other movies were also very good, but i guess now that i think of it almost all the characters had pretty moving parts in LoTR. Esspecially Elijah

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

I thought what was going to happen was LOTR would not win best picture and everything else would be compensation oskars. I guess I was wrong.
Man that was a crazy night. In all honesty, I don't don't think they were deserving of every oscar. There are other groundbreaking films out there besides LOTR that were deserving of those awards. I personally think this is the academy's compensation for LOTR not winning much in the other years when it should have won stuff.
I missed the special effects award. Was the matrix even a nominee. Despite being a crappy movie it probably had the best special effects of the year.
Congrats to canadians! The Barbarian Invasions won for best foreign film. Go Canada!

I donno....everything that LOTR took they seemed to diserve...I mean that movie was so flawless. It was pretty astounding. I wouldn't be able to point out a catagory that they shouldn't have won.

The one thing I didn't like about the movie is that it didn't end. 
When lights go down your supposed to leave the theater, not watch a continuation of the movie. Everyone was starting to leave and then it just popped back up again. It was a great movie but that was a little annoying.

It's just that there's multiple threads of the story that end on their own, before everything comes together.
The ending is where the credits are.
Not exactly rocket science.

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down, I'll find the way to peace and openness.
