I would like to see RotK win, too - on behalf of all 3 movies. The problem for both the LotR trilogy & the academy is that the awards really aren't 'geared' towards movie(s) like this. Neither in terms of the 3-part thing nor in terms of the fact that the movies acting wise are more of a collective effort than based on one or two actors performance alone.<P>The academy <I>could</I> choose to solve this by handing out one of their 'special' awards - it's been seen before, like when someone important in films have been handed one of those 'lifetime achievement' awards.<P>We'll just have to wait & see...
