I loved ROTK, but was extremely disappointed that it won 11 Oscars. I felt that it was the worst of the three LOTR movies (Towers being the best), so seeing this movie win over Mystic River and Big Fish (which wasn't even NOMINATED) was a disappointment to me. I know they were rewarding three years worth of work, but...the other nominees may as well not even have submitted anything this year. I feel bad for Clint Eastwood, Sofia Coppola (even though she did get her Screenplay Oscar), and all the other filmmakers not named Peter (except Peter Weir).
