I think Johnny Depp should have gotten it for Pirates, but thats prolly cause I didn't see any of the other movies in the Awards except for Something's Gotta Give, Finding Nemo, RotK, and...ya that's it, lol

But seriously, RotK earned most of its awards, IMO. Like costumes, they fully blew away all the others. Adapted screen play I would say too, but Master and Commander was close. I liked the original song better than the others as well, and they definatley earned it for...whats it called...well, the use of special effects, was like the first one they got *shrug* maybe I'm just to blinded by the brilliance of RotK...I mean it did take 7 years to make after all- compared to Lost in Translation (i think?) which took 27 days!

I woulda liked to see Johnny win too, if only to hear his acceptance speech.
And I like that they got so many, totally earned it...but yes it does seem like they were awarding 3 movies

I think the number of awards was an 'apology' by the acadamy for LotR not being recognized in the 2 previous years. Granted LotR was nominated, but I think the acadamy was holding out for the third movie to award rather than have LotR dominate the awards for 3 years.

I heard also that this was the first time a 'Fantasy' movie was awarded an Oscar.

Well, I think last years Oscars were kind of a joke. LotR got only 2 IIRC, one of them for "sound editing" [img]tongue.gif[/img]

YEAH! GO LOTR! [img]smile.gif[/img]

But that is just a "littl" too much.

Considering the last two times they were basically shafted, and slapped in the face by movies like Chicago and ended up with almost nothing. I think they deserved it for the third movie.
