Yeah, Peter Jackson bought the permission to make it into a film so noone else could nick the LOTR franchise from him. It would be cool to see it done.

If it was given for three the awards would have been spread out and he probably would have ended up winning more awards... Given that it wasn't fair to this years movies, but if the selection was bad enough for Penn to pick one up then the competition deserved to be blown out of the water...

Does that mean that none of the SW movies should have ever been nominated for any awards after ANH? They are, after all, one long continous movie split into separate films, just like LOTR.
The fact is, it was released as a separate entity, and had to be treated as such. It's not like FOTR and TTT swept the awards the last two years.
As for The Hobbit, it was my understanding that Tolkein's family owned the rights to it, and were refusing to allow it to be made into a movie, irregardless of the success and acclaim of LOTR.

Personally, I don't think ROTK is the best movie of the three. But, crazy hollywood politics worked in favor of a series of movies I like - I don't have a problem with that.
Nightwing, in your opinion, which movie and director should have won this year?

The Hobbit should be good as long as they don't involve Leonard Nimoy.

Does it really matter anyway? The Academy's are a farce, as are the Grammy's for that matter. I no longer care what the establishment thinks about movies released in any given year. Box office is what keeps certain genres alive or kills them, not Oscar recognition. Chicago won so many awards last year, and I was barely able to sit through it. On the flip side, I loved the Planet of the Apes remake, and of course Clones, but both were destroyed by critics. Bottom line is that I don't need that pompous affair to tell me what movies were good or bad in my eyes.
Btw, maybe BTTF III was a bad example, but thanks with the quick response Borsk.

I saw Lost in Translation the other night.
While it was okay, it was far from great. In fact, boring might be a better term. The pace was monotonous, and it left you hanging at the end.
Haven't seen the others, but artsy movies just tend to annoy me. When I watch a movie, I want entertainment. If I want to think about what I'm watching, I'll turn on Discovery Channel.
