Fellowship of Filmmakers
And now, the long-awaited return of my Oscars series! I've been watching all the movies that won the Oscar for Best Picture. Next on my list was the 2003 winner, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, directed by Peter and starring Elijah Wood, Viggo Mortensen and Ian McKellen.
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, a.k.a. LOTR: ROTK, is an adaptation of the final book of J.R.R. Tolkien's series, Lord of the Rings, one of the most famous fantasy series of all time. With ground-breaking special effects,a phenomenal production team, and hundreds of extras, Jackson's films set a new bar for fantasy films and, indeed, for filmmaking in general.
The other nominees for Best Picture that year were Lost in Translation, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, Mystic River and Seabiscuit. In addition to Best Picture, ROTK also won Best Art Direction - Set Decoration; Best Costume Design; Best Director; Best Editing; Best Makeup; Best Music (Original Score); Best Music (Original Song); Best Sound Mixing; Best Visual Effects and Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay). The film won in every category for which it was nominated.
