I feel sorry for the Far From Heaven people who got nothing! Thank God for the Independent Spirit Awards.

Yeah, I didn't feel too bad for TT. Everyone's expecting Jackson to take the cake next year, so to speak. Save the best for last.

Yeah... most ppl figure that LOTR is basically one film so the third installment will receive all the awards.. I'm not sure though..

Even though i LOVED Fellowship, i thought that Two Towers went nowhere fast. I understand that it *is* that way in the books, being the middle of the arc and whatnot, but I even think that the nomination for best picture was only a favor to new line/peter jackson hehe I dont believe it deserved to be there, unlike Fellowship..  again all in all IMO.  8)

Next year Peter Jackson will have people throwing Oscars at him. Return Of The King indeed.

Why are we so sure about this? (according to a couple of other posters in this thread)  any inside scoop?

i think its more of a gut feeling. and it seems logical.

I might catch Hell for this...but TTT didn't seem to advance the story all that much. That said, it is certainly the greatest movie ever committed to cellulite.

The Lord of the Rings hype seems pretty much on tha backburner for academy voters and general consideration to win any real awards. I think the third installment will speak the same as the second. It will get nominations but that's it. The only hype about the third one is just for how much action there will be in the movie. Something not really warming to an insitution like the Oscars. Lord of The Rings hype feels to be getting old already with critics only being able to say how its visuals are so great and what not. I wasn't even impressed by the visuals or special effects anyways, so I am not looking forward to the Third, but will watch it on the second week of release once it get pasts losing its virginity to every single fanboy in my area 20 times over.

If you've read Return of the King, you know its the best. And I know the final shot will be classed as one of the great cinematic moments in years to come. Its scary, its exciting, its sad and its triumphant.

Yes. The Academy just hates action.

And I know the final shot will be classed as one of the great cinematic moments in years to come.

Oh, yeah! Without a doubt. Especially if it is followed by a jump cut to black. And what with Sean Astin having emerged as one of the best parts of the trilogy...
