Personally, I think that TTT deserves no Oscars other than Best Costume, Best Original Score, and perhaps Best Special Effects (the perhaps due to George Lucas). The acting was fair, but not profound, and although it is quite an adaptation of Tolkien's work, I think that as long as another fairly good literary adaptation out there, TTT will not recieve the Oscar. Best Director will, most likely, go to the winner of Best Picture (definately not TTT), but I may be wrong...I do, like others, agree that a complete streak is coming up at this time next year, and wait for RotK to reap the benefits of Tolkien's writing at last.
