so I know a little something about it....LOTR may have won a few awards....but I place about as much stock in THAT as I do YOUR Presidential candidate's empty rhetoric...And just for the record once again... I said I MIGHT vote for McCain....and then again I may not vote at all.....IMO LOTR won a few awards due to the old Academy sympathy vote.....which if you know history of the Academy has happened more than a few times.....frankly 2003 was NOT a stellar year for films....The Peter Weir movie was good but not great as some of his films have been... and the rest were somewhat forgettable with maybe the exception of Seabiscuit which I like simply for sentimental reasons...but certainly NOT Best Picture material....The awards that Jackson won for the third installment IMO was for the body of work rather than the single film... it did have a fabulous song be Annie Lennox who I love....Those LOTR films as a series were over-produced, tediously long and self-indulgent.....I'm glad to see Jackson giving The Hobbit to del Toro who IMO IS a brilliant director! If you want to know what films I consider "classics" search the archives.....I've given plenty of indications previously......
