Re: LOTR Sweeps the Oscars

First off let me say that I loved watching all three, having no prior knowledge of the books I belive that Peter Jackson did a wonderful job telling the story of the ring.

With that said...

The only reason that LOTR swept the oscars was because of the length of there production schedule. Most movies spend anywhere from a couple of weeks i.e. (Independent films, most noteably Thirteen and Elephant) to many many months of constant filming i.e. Blockbusters such as Apoclypse now, and many others.

LOTR beats any of these huge productions out by at the very least a couple of years. I belive that because all three movies culmintated with ROTK that the acadmey decided that this years oscars is when it should get it dues i.e. The Sweep.

It won all the technicaly categories becuase the people working on those aspects of the movie had years... not months to perfect everything about there section of the movie(s) weather it be Sound, Lighting, Art Direction or some other of the 11 categories it won.

On a final note, notice how nobody from any LOTR movie had an acting nomination.

Please take this post with a grain of salt, belive me I really like movies this is just my opinion on a certian few.

-Aaron
