The Oscar Buzz?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> and value of the book has nothing to do with films based on it. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I will venture to disagree with that, if I may. The Return of the King is my favorite of the books, and I trust that it will be my favorite of the movies, too. ROTK is the most exciting, most emotional, most dramatic and most pivotal part of LOTR. No matter what anyone else says, PJ and co. have done an exceedingly good job on the other two movies, and will no doubt do even better on the third. Several of the actors have already said that ROTK is going to be the best (Elijah Wood says that it will be better than the other two combined, which I firmly believe, and Sean Astin says that the best work in he's done in his entire life is in the third film, which is saying something, and which I very much look forward to seeing. )<P>So I don't think there's any doubt that <BR>ROTK will be the best. But the main reason that most of us (I believe I'm speaking for most everyone on this thread, if not I apologize) want to see ROTK win many many Oscars, or at least Best Picture, is that we believe that LOTR as a whole deserves the awards, and what better time to get them than ROTK?
