The unfortunate fact of the matter is that the Academy is notorious for getting the nominations completely wrong. As this year's line-up looks like a Leo-fest and a gangland-fest in my opinion, TTT will be lucky to come away with the dreaded technical Oscars (films that are part of a series always end up with these). Saying that, though, next year the story will come to a close and the films will be nominated under RotK but the nominations (and the inevitable wins in decent categories next year) will be for the whole trilogy. Also, Howard Shore et al deserve to win yet another Oscar for the film's excellent score as they so rightly did last year.
