11 nominations, 11 wins. They tied the record with Titanic and Ben Hur, with less nominations than those two films.
I was disappointed that Keisha Castle-Hughes didn't win best actress, that would have been cool.
Anyone have any thoughts?

I'm just glad Finding Nemo won, that was the best animated CG film ever.
Did Russell Crowe win anything/beat anyone up?
I was glad to see Lord of the Rings do so well. Good on Peter Jackson I say, you made New Zealand so proud *wipes tear from eye*
Bill Murray was robbed.
Can anyone post a nice list of the winners?

Predicted 22/24 of the awards correctly which made me quite a bit richer at the end of this evening :D
I'm so happy for Peter Jackson right now, he and the entire cast/crew of LotR deserves every award and accolade that they're given.
This was probably the most predictable oscar show I've ever seen and I was hoping for some surprises, especially in the best actress categories. But still, I was thrilled for most of the winners and it was great to see RotK sweep the awards. It was also nice to see Sean Penn finally recognized by the Academy after SO many brilliant performances, although I do admit that it would've been great if either Murray or Depp had won.
Thankfully, I don't think he was even there.Quote:

I didn't want to see a LotR sweep, just because it's pretty boring to watch.
It was great that Lord of the rings got so many oscars, but it was sad that Lost In Translation only won for the best screenplay...
What was that instrument Sting was playing?
The people that performed the song from "A Mighty Wind" looked like Eugene Levy and the mom from "Home Alone" to everyone here. That was unsettling.
That's because they were.
As for the instrument Sting was playing....
It looked like some form of sitar mixed with a musicbox, as all he seemed to be doing was turning a knob.
I can't say how happy I was about last nights Oscars. LOTR deserved everything it received and more. All I wish is that there was a Best Ensemble Acting category for films such as ROTK where singling out one performance is almost impossible.
Penn deserved to win, but really, he deserved it every time he's in a film. Same with Depp, who will win one of these days, I can feel it. Alas for Bill Murray, he's probably the most un-Hollywood star around (Which is wonderful) and for that, he seemed destined to be a Bridesmaid until he gets a lifetime achievement award. He's deserved at least three Oscars himself, for Rushmore, Groundhog's Days and now Lost in Translation.
If LOTR has taught us anything, it's that we can not only dream big, but succeed on those dreams.
Take care all.
What's everyone's thoughts on Jack Black and Will Ferrell's performance of the exit song?
Lord of the Overrated Movies is more like it. *grumble*
Last Samurai and Whale Rider didn't get anything ;_;
I thought Tom Cruise was really trying to get an Oscar for the Last Samurai, but was he even nominated??
I didn't bother watching the show, nope.
I was really disappointed with Last Samurai, personally.
And the Will Farrell/Jack Black thing was hilarious.
Hey, second sequel to win best picture.
I'd say more anime should've been in the animated feature, but I can't really think of any good movies that were released last year. @_@
Oh well, Innocence for next year! Or something. >_>
It really won all 11, eh? I never watch the thing, but its good to hear that movie did so well. It made me hot.
Cruise wasn't nominated this year.
Sean Penn has his Oscar but Bill Murray has his Golden Globe and Johnny Depp has his SAG award so I'm sure it didn't hurt too much to lose given that all three of them have had great success this Awards season.
The "You're Boring" duet by Will Farrell and Jack Black was quite possibly one of the funniest moments of the night.
Nominations are good. Ngila Dickson got the costume design nominations for both RotK and Last Samurai, so they'd have had a tough job trying to acknowledge both...Quote:

Good results all round, I think.
Nice to see Ren้e Zellweger get the Supporting Actress award.
Return of the King was good, but not THAT good. I think Last Samurai should have won for costume. And there were others that I didn't think RoTK deserved. But oh well...

RotK didn't deserve all those wins on its own, but the Academy chose not to award the first two movies for some of the awards that they actually deserved, waiting instead for the final movie was released and so in a sense they put themselves in a position where they had to make up for the first two. It wasn't just RotK that was awarded, it was the entire Trilogy. And in my opinion the detail in costume and armor in the Lord of the Rings is beyond anything I've ever seen in a movie, and if people were dedicated enough to have their fingerprints rubbed off from linking chain mail together for weeks and weeks, then the least they deserve is a little golden statue.Quote:

This is awesome. Return of the King really deserved the awards. So they now tie with Titanic and Ben-Hur... Now we have three champions (yet I personally think Titanic doesn't deserve to be a champion:rolleyes2 ). I'm happy for this.:cool:
I'm glad to see that RoTK got all the awards and all. xD Sure, it was the worst of the three, but I still feel it deserved more awards than any other film out there.
I wonder why I pluralized King in the title of this thread...
