Academy Awards Countdown: 11 days!

2003 was the year that nerds worlwide celebrated the "recognition" by the Academy, of the Tolkin/Jackson trilogy. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King was the only film of the three that earned the Best Picture award, but for everyone, it felt as if the award for the third film, was actually an award for the whole saga and the world that Jackson managed to put in the big screen.

Apart from Best Picture, the film earned another 10 Academy Awards (Best Director, Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup, Best Music, Original Score, Best Music, Original Song -Into The West-, Best Sound Mixing, Best Visual Effects).
