11 Nominations, 11 Wins.
Wow.
17 nominations*
@@pshr2447 no it was 11. That's why it's a clean sweep
Yep the Lord Of The Rings smashed it, swept 11 Oscars away and won everything it was nominated for, I’m sure all the ones from the other nominations, I’m sure they just knew it was gonna be Lord Of The Rings
@@pshr2447 wrong
I thought it was 12 nominations but I'm probably wrong
The fact it won every award it was nominated for and still remains as the only fantasy to win just speaks to the greatness of this film
or a prejudice in hollywood
E Weber *cough* Sean Astin
Not anymore. "The Shape of Water" won this year.
Return of the King was the last film to win that actually deserved it, and I don't just mean from the nominees of future years.
Academy had to make up big time because the first 2 Movies were not nominated.
Most underrated member of that team - Howard Shore.
Totally agree! These films wouldn’t be the same without his masterpiece of a music score.
@@WSUGLUE HE IS THE SAME GUY WHO BACKGROUND MUSIC TO THE DEPARTED.
The score is one of the most praised and beloved part of those movies, that’s not really underrated
@@ralphintheshadowrealm7002 by some fans. I know plenty of LOTR fans who don't know of Howard Shore or the have looked into the score other than the fact they know it sounds nice.
Idk, he literally got an oscar...
One Movie to rule them all.
One Trilogy to find them.
Three producers to bring them all
and in the Oscars bind them.
7 movies for the Harry Potter fans in their halls of stone, 3 movies for the hunger games fans under sky, 9 seasons for the Game of Thrones fans doomed to die
@@Omar-Azimi three movies fore the STAR TREK fans, above the sky (the trilogy of 2,3, and 4 will always be up there as one of the greatest movies of all time!!!)
In the land of Hollywood where shadows lie
But they were, all of them, deceived, for another trilogy was made later on
@@Omar-Azimi 9 seasons?
No offense to the other nominees, but they really didn't stand a chance against Return of the King.
So true
+Loki Agent of Asgard LOL
+Loki Agent of Asgard em, Master and Commander is fucking good movie too ;)
+Loki Agent of Asgard So true. Although I gotta say, Master and Commander and Seabiscuit were pretty good too.
Loki Agent of Asgard lost in translation is a pretty good film, but yah it didn't really have a chance lol
One movie to rule them all
+bread_n_butter One trilogy to rule them all.
+Eziokilla9595 And in Oscars bind them.
Absolutely 😎

Legend Games Cinema Into a deep deep feeling.
I love how Elijah, Sean, Dominic and Billy are always side by side and how "hobbitish" they look together (even in normal size) in comparison to everyone else, specially the ladies on high heels.
They're all adorable!!!
@@xshxr liv tyler is actually tall
The women would be just as tall as them if they took the 3 inchers off.
@@adi4032 yes I believes she’s 5’10” and she’s probably wearing heels here as well.
It helps that those four just happen to be standing between two taller people than all of them on stage. Gives you Hobbit vibes
Major credits are due for JRR Tolkien. The guy was nothing short of a literary giant.
Very cool that they mentioned him, and the fans.
@@davidhiltner7288 Yep its even more special when you consider that nowadays the holders of the IP that makes film/shows currently seems to dispise their fandoms
@@aesir1ases64 Yeah, I rewatched the Extended Edition of Two Towers with friends to ignore the Rings of Power premiere.
@@aesir1ases64 ya bc after lotr and star wars were a smash hit every book had to become a movie and 99% of them suck balls
@Pierce HartTolkien's Legendarium is far more intricate than a simple fable that could be written by an average person. Yes, an average Christian may believe in the same morals which inspired Tolkien, but unless they have his talent for worldbuilding, his knowledge of linguistics and skill of writing, they would not be able to "replicate" LOTR.
Sean Astin deserved a nomination for best supporting actor. Seriously.
I agree that Sean Astin should have at least gotten nominated for best supporting actor! He was great and enjoyed watching him in LOTR!
and Ian Mckellen should've won.
judy rioflorido Yes, I wanted him to win, too! Was disappointed when he didn't!
yeah but if he didn't win it wouldn't have been a clean sweep for the return of the king
Ian McKellen received his oscar nomination as best supporting actor for the first movie, Followship of the Ring, not the last movie, Return of the King.
Who else wanted peter Jackson to pull the one ring out of his pocket and disappear like bilbo in fellowship of the ring
😂 this is hilarious 👌🏻
Ha haaaa.That would have been funny ;-)
With a Bilbo-esque riddle in his speech.
"I don't know half as many of you as much as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve".
Tis not Peter Jackson it is SIR Peter Jackson.
@@TheCrowDoctor If you see him in NZ (or Australia), it's more likely to just be "Peter" or "Pete" than anything else.
You know, back then, I thought LOTR winning 11 Oscars was perhaps an overkill. It was just a very well-done fantasy film to me. Now, I'm almost 36 and I think it's a movie where beyond the disguise of fantasy, you get a solemn, deep tale about the loss of innocence, the absence of perfect heroism and the price one has to pay for being forced to stare into the abyss for one moment too long. How once you do that, you're never the same again.
It just happens to take place in a fictional world with fictional creatures, but the story is more poignant than many "serious" movies. There are some hard truths told in LOTR, some which can bring a tear to my eye after I've experienced life from more angles than just a teenager.
The whole trilogy was so obviously and overwhelmingly good, such a rare achievement, the Academy simply had to push aside any of its preconceived notions and preferences, and simply give the awards to this obvious winner. They were earned, there was just nothing else to do really but to cave in and say - "yup, give every fucking award possible to LOTR", we shorthanded these people the previous few times a little bit, now it's time to give them every accollade they can get. And no one in the audience could argue really, or think "this should've been me", because well, it shouldn't have been anyone else. And it's not a shame to lose to a movie where the entire crew experienced their creative zenith at the same time.
LOTR is special, ROTK is special and the awards underscore it. It's one of the times Academy got it right.
Well said. But we have to recognize Tolkien for creating such a detailed, complex, believable world in the first place.
the difference why lotr is soo good compared to other shows or films
because no matter how deep the philosophies are on other shows or films
they may not tackle the most important elements that shows how humans re portryed in emotions
and lotr nailed those and will remain a timeless work
wherareas GOT is too complicated and too detailed
Beautifully said
Just imagine what was on Tolkien's mind when he envisioned LOTR, the amount of horrible memories he had of his WW1 experiences. I bet any soldier who fought at that war definetly stared longer into the abyss than any character in LOTR, and his writing tells... i'm glad that in the end hope prevails.
I feel the EXACT same way. Every year I feel more the impact of this film and the certainty that I’ll never watch something on this scale again.
You can tell just how much heart was put into this trilogy. “We had no interest in putting our messages into this movie. But we thought we should honor Tolkien by putting his message into It”
-Peter Jackson, 2002
And this trilogy is still a masterpiece in 2024 :)
Wise words to live by, wise words.
Yeah exactly, they stayed true to the source.
Humility win total respect for this guys and womens
I'm seeing this comment Jan 4th, 2024, did you come watch this for New Years and edit your comment?
Timeless. Just watched it with my ten year old granddaughter. One of the great experiences of my life to share it with her.!
Fantasy fans, you can thank The Lord of the Rings trilogy for making people take the genre seriously.
Nah, you can thank Tolkien for creating a whole new genre of literature.
What you can thank The Ring Trilogy is for making people take fantasy movies seriously.
Carlos El Oso Speaking the truth my dude, I could dare say that most modern day entertainment with Fantasy elements were heavily inspired by Tolkien’s work.
Adam Clown Still are. Examples: Game of Thrones (Although he doesn't like to admit it, G.R.R. Martin., The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan, Narnia by C.S. Lewis, plus Aragon Series.
filmfan24 amen
Game of thrones does even better
It's not a trilogy, it's one 12 hour long film.
About some guys returning jewelry.
Id argue its a better compliment to say its a successful trilogy. to split a story into 3 separate films that all hold their own and have all 3 tell a cohesive story is pretty darn impressive especially something on the scale of a war fantasy. Much more challenging a feat in film than in writing
@@rozz1864 It's a 12 hour epic divided into three parts of some guys returning jewelry through great battles, speeches, monologues, dramatic scenes, and excellent CGI that nobody could think of. And to think, the director of these films was making B-grade horror comedies.
@@rickardkaufman3988 The ring is a metaphor for power. You can dull literally any story ever told in the same way you did. If all the things you listed there you thought was great then what's the problem?
@@rozz1864 I have no problem whatsoever. I love the trilogy more than the last season of GOT. I was giving a bad take on describing the trilogy as a whole. In simplistic terms, I was joking about the trilogy as I fucking love it.
Lets be honest. This win is for the whole trilogy. It's one epic movie and the Academy was just waiting for the conclusion to finally give it to them.
I think there’s something to that. Caps off what was a complete triumph of a trilogy.
@@peterp2153 And the rest is history. The LOTR trilogy is considered now as a classic masterpiece.
Agree
Yep
Fue una vergüenza cuando ganó Una mente brillante en lugar de La comunidad del anillo
The most deserved win in the history of the Oscars.
Yes!
Wins*
My friends
You bow to no one
That scene is beautiful😢
VlRGlL my mom talks about that scene so much. she's 60 and still loves it
Indeed
I literally wept like a child.
Best moment in the film!
Lord of the rings = Greatest film trilogy of all time.
Star Wars?!
Monarque Nope.
@@Pensive_117 lol no
Greatest film of all time!
@@Pensive_117 Star Wars, as great as it is, not even close.
My local movie theater did a LOTR extended edition marathon last year with 60 minute breaks between each film to get food and some fresh air. The entire theatre were so invested, everyone laughed and cheered and clapped at the right places. We had all obviously watched it a million times already. It was a crazy comfortable environment, just a big bunch of obsessed nerds watching their fave films together. It was the same theatre where the world premiere for ROTK was held. The chairs have little plaques where the cast, directors, producers etc all sat on the arm rests. Man, I hope they do that again soon. I could do it every year haha.
No way! One of my local theaters is going to do that on January 6.
I did this last year, it was amazing, even though there were barely a handful of people watching
PJ's "the Lord of the Rings" is the best film ever made. No, I won't say "return of the king" because it's not really three movies. It's one movie, that's like 10+ hours long, so they had to cut it and split it. Just like Tolkien's book, which was originally one book, that had to be split into three because they wouldn't print it so big. It's one and the same story, that's shot and made all at the same time. Return of the King got all the glory because it was a grand finale of the entire story. But the buildup is what made the finale great. All 3 movies got these 11 Oscars in my opinion. And they deserved more! This IS the best film ever made. Nothing else comes close.
Tolkien's novel was actually split into 6 books, written in three parts.
17* Oscars then
Fucking PREACH!!!
@@MrSupdup "7". You forgot the appendices.
Really shows how much the world have changed since when those books were made, If it was made today it probably would have been a single book.
“It’s a clean sweep!”
I’LL NEVER FORGET THIS
Same
I was 17. 17 years later here I am ,finishing the trilogy and heading to the comments on youtube
2021 and me neither
Plus that's how Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson first met, then the two made the movie "The Adventures Of Tintin".
@@TheImaginator972 Wonder what could have happen for the sequel for The Adventures of Tintin. There's been no word of development on that sequel ever since.
gives me chills everytime
Probably the most deserved best picture win ever.
Aside from Crash. *jumps off building narrowly avoiding gunshots*
Return of the king,Godfather part 1 and 2,and schindler list .
@@CGRADT Also Parasite last year. It was the best movie of 2020
@@dominikudovicic3573 Jesus I have to watch that
This, the Godfather and Parasite are to most deserving best picture winners in Oscar history
No Country For Old Men would be up there but honestly There Will Be Blood should have won that year
Probably the most deserved oscar in the history of film making. Thank you for making my childhood awesome
I know that’s right. There were other great movies nominated but ROTK just has it all.
"there's a reason why the say best motion picture for LAST" You heard that academy? Spielberg said that.
Absolutely. Fun fact, in the 30s and 40s they often handed out the Acting awards for last. They did Best Picture last in '45, but not in '46-48. However, they realized over the years that it was fitting to have Best Picture last. Such as in '47 when the papers reported to anticlimactic ending with:
"Fontaine settled the highly contested Best Actor race: the winner was Fredrich March for "The Best Years of Our Lives". March was in New York and his Oscar was accepted by Cathy O'Donnell, who played Harold Russel's girlfriend in the movie. And that was the show" and the year after it was reported that audience members were starting to leave the theatre after Best Picture despite having the acting awards left.
So they actually have done a different format and learned that it doesn't work. Looks like they have completely forgotten about the failures of the 40's.
All the other movies stood no chance.
Man Sasuke looks like Madara.
I know
+RiceDuke I like your profile pic
Thanks dude.
hahaha man have you watched mystic river? master and commander? but specially mystic river. Don't be so fanboy
The amount of passion and talent invested by all the people working on these films deserved no less
Amen!!
i love the "Making of"-Bonus Material. The commitment of the team was outstanding.
@@TheBrotherdarkness9 I just was blown away when they built The Golden Hall and Edoras. Not only make an entire city of temporary buildings, but to move every .single. clump. of grass and plant and safekeep it And replace it all when they were done!
In a land of New Zealand, in a fires of Mountain Doom, all the film crew forged in secret *a master Trilogy* to surpass others, and into this Trilogy they puted all passion and talent.
it’s not often at all you get movies of this scale where EACH & every one of the performances is literally perfect.
So well deserved. This trilogy still puts films new and old to shame twenty years later.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is a real miracle: three wonderful and astonishing movies, three critically acclaimed masterpieces, regarded among the greatest, most beautiful and most influential films ever made. Absolutely perfect in every part - direction, screenplay, cinematography, soundtrack, acting, editing, visual effects, art direction, costumes - and full of Poetry and Beauty. Every fragment of them is pure Art. Peter Jackson and his team were kissed by divine grace: they managed to transform one of the greatest books ever into three Classic movies, three monuments of the Cinema history. We are so lucky to have been able to witness the making of these masterpieces. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy will be loved forever.
And the movie is not even close to the wonder of the books. Imagine.
@@Riri-oj1zs Well that means that the books are the best books ever written. :3
Very beautifully said, my friend. I totally agree.
totally agree so many things went right that its a miracle that they came out so great. from Bob Shaye saying peter 3 books 3 movies. to Arwen being cut from helms deep and Sauron being cut from the final battle. truly a miracle
Dude. They played "Lighting of the Beacons" as they came up to accept the Oscar. Fucking epic.
You mean a lame version of it
Yeah a little slow but still, ‘twas cool
Which version is this?
Nope, they are playing the music that sounds at the very end of the end credits of the film, after Into the West has ended.
Quite possibly the only film ive seen that deserved every single Oscar it got. Best film ever made.
+MtMarshi Star Wars
+Sigurd Torvaldsson
Nice joke, I forgot to laugh
YukiGibson No joke. Star Wars deserved all the oscars it got. Don't fool yourself pretending like it didn't. It was revolutionizing for its time. Even more than lotr
+Sigurd Torvaldsson
(sorry for my english)
well if you say Tolkien's Middle Earth coming from the Silmarillion to Lotr and all his works, then presented in movies in an incredible good way by Peter Jackson is not revolutionary enough that won several oscars then... you just love SW more than LOTR that's it
YukiGibson That's a bold deduction. And wrong
I still get teary eyed thinking about this. It was an amazing trilogy, and I was so happy for all of them for winning all the awards.
No matter how many years have passed , my childhood is forever connected to this movie 🎖
Im no simp but cute pfp!
@@ccptube3468 hahaha youre.
I love the fact Steve Spielberg presented the nominees.
Probably the greatest book to film adaptation that has ever been made. So well done from top to bottom, just top notch. Action, acting, suspense, story telling, character development, just fantastic.
Very true, but the only thing is that you don’t see stuff exactly like this anymore. The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings will remain as my favourite movies.
And looking at this video, I’m sure the ones from Master and Commander or Mystic River, I’m sure they just knew The Lord Of The Rings would get it, regardless of if Russell Crowe, Paul Bettany and possibly even his wife did get a chance to go out to see all three of the LOTR films
You have in the first movie Sam afraid to leave the shire and not know what lies beyond
Then in the last film you have him carrying frodo into a mountain of fire. Just epic
Vfx👌
And music!
@@christopherrodmell1694 you’ve never seen it. It’s never been done before as well as this.
The Lord of the Rings is a timeless masterpiece 💜
Facts right there.
Best movie ever,
No
The return of the king had the most perfect ending I have ever experienced in a movie. An ending is just as important as the beginning and not one single second was mediocre in between. Truly a masterpiece and Peter Jackson’s magnum opus.
"It's a clean sweep!" No one better than Steven Spielberg to announce this award.
And while I absolutely loved it and cry like a bitch at the end, Fellowship was my favorite of the trilogy.
Pirelli913 fellowship was so good
The Two Towers here!
The King of the Golden Hall (the Viking like song) was the best instrumental music of the series. and one of the best scenes of the series!
"Breath the free air...!"
Pirelli913 I can't decide which is my favorite. I love all 3. Greatest movie trilogy ever!
The whole Trilogy is my favorite, but primarily The Extended Editions. Lol
Fellowship is my favorite as well
It's so great that my favorite movie of all time won 11 Oscars and BEST PICTURE!

Still to this day, the biggest clean sweep at the oscars ever. Greatest movies of all time.
Imagine in 50 years they'll do a remake. Don't laugh. It happened to Ben-Hur.
i will push my self off the wheelchair(cause im gonna be a fucking granny) and fire the set.i got this dont worry;)
yeah it's guaranteed. especially with how much money the jackson series made.
don't worry, me and my walking frame will join
Have you see the new Ben- Hur? I can't imagine another cast of actors portraying the LOTR characters.
I wouldn't mind, if a version extremely more accurate with the books, i.e. Sauron once defeated by Elendil and an elf Lord, mortally wounding the two warriors, and Isildur chopping the ring off after the battle; instead of Sauron stepping on a sword, breaking it, then reaching out to Isildur to get his finger chopped off. Love the films, wish the best for any future films
I remember walking out of the movie theatre with my wife after watching ROTK the first time, and telling her that if there was any justice in the world, this film should break Academy Award records in terms of wins. At that time I added a Best Supporting Actor for Sean Astin and counted 12 nominations/wins in a clean sweep. It was close enough but eventually the Academy snubbed Astin, which is a shame because he was phenomenal.
He was great but stood no chance to Tim Robbins
@@Maaden84 No way. Robbins was good but Astin gave the performance of a lifetime.
Andy serkis should've been nominated as well too.
Without a doubt the most deserved Oscar in history.
This film truly deserved all the 11 Oscars that it got. The Return of the King is my favorite film of all time.
Not only that, The Return of the King is a classic masterpiece.
Andy Serkis should have gotten an Oscar for best supporting character. People don't realise how special it was what he did with Gollum
So was Sean Astin, probably even more so.
True, was a changing moment in he history of the movie industry.
mercedes mccambridge best supporting actress 1974
Spielbreg giving this oscar to Peter Jackso is so amazing
AdrianManzo they both work together for Tintin movie.
Only Spielberg has the right to award this Oscar to Peter Jackson.
Just finished watching the trilogy. I've watched it almost a decade ago while I was a kid. And then i didn't quite realise the entire story and how deep it could get. Now after completely understanding the plot and seeing the mindblowing visuals ,I do have to say this is a ONE OF A KIND movie!! No movie has ever been able to keep up the standards that this franchise has set. One Movie to rule them all...!!
These movies are nearly 20 years old and still look as modern as ever.
this video has one pixel for each film that was nominated
Pffffttt... kids like you don’t know you’re born.
Kids...?
Get off my lawn...
......I'm 26
Exactly, you’re not old enough to remember when we had _really_ shitty picture quality.
for me this is the best movie of all time, lord of the rings !!!
It's a GOAT
Wich one is te best 1, 2 or 3? I think fellowship
Same here
me 2
Fellowship was quite beautiful and stands out from its sequels, but Return of the King is everything I think a film should be with an incomparable balance of components.
I just watched the extended edition of the trilogy and also watched a few extras on the DVD (behind the scenes, filming etc) - it's very easy to see why the movies were successful - the amount of effort and attention put into the project was mind boggling. one example - They made real weapons, armour, prosthetics etc for the armies on screen and a lot of the combatants shown on screen were real people - this has certainly helped in keeping the realism - the movies have aged really well even 20 years on!
Another thing to think about - the total budget for the trilogy was $300 million - it's incredible how they managed to pull that off !
There probably won't ever be a production like this again - seeing how the movie industry has gone CGI crazy nowadays.
"There is only one Lord of the Rings. And he does not share power..." -Gandalf to Saruman
the LOTR trilogy was an amazing achievement
true fans know this was really an award for the whole trilogy. fellowship was the best film.
@@JoefromNJ1 i personally think Return Of The King was the best but i believe it was rewarding the whole trilogy i liked the whole series
This was basically the best moment in history for many nerds,Peter Jackson included
Buddy, I've been watching this for over a decade. My emotional attachment to these movies is next level.
I am so unbelievably happy this moment existed during our time. A reminder of the simpler times when hard work and quality art was celebrated, admired and acknowledged. I love how much this win triumphed all the Hollywood Facade. When they pan to the celebrities I can help but chuckle and sigh in satisfaction. This movie was a win for our society and a reminder of better days. So grateful this movie existed when I did and just so happy these wonderful folks who gave so much to us got the recognition they deserve.
Imagine working together with your wife and also winning an Oscar together. This is goals

The greatest movie trilogy of all time based on the greatest book trilogy of all time.
Andy Serkis should have gotten a nomination. In fact he should have gotten the award. People still don't understand why he didn't but I think it may have been the fact the The Academy just didn't understand how much of that performance was him and his acting rather than just cgi.
While he was great in that I think Gollum was still finest achievement
+Taylor Tri You are kidding right? He did well in the Ape-movie, but Gollum was so much more, and is totally superior to the Ape :o

I was given a copy of Lord of tge Rings for my 12th birthday and loved it ever since. When Peter Jackson's films were announced I trembled. He more than did the book justice. From Shire to Gondor from Sam's speech in Osgilith, House of Healing etc. Too many moments to mention that make you laugh, cheer and cry. Tolkien was a man of his generation. A fantastic trilogy
Best Movie of all times. No one can convince me otherwise.
After watching the behind the scenes effort to produce this trilogy, this is well deserved.
Yes, the behind the scenes will make anyone amazed at these LOTR films!
These are the nominees for Best Motion Picture:
The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King
The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King
The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King
The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King
The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King

No ,No ,No,No ,No. I'm sorry but, The Lord of the Rings- The Return of the King should be on the on the nominations too.
Hahahahaa!
This is also the 1st time that casts and production team were allowed to be up on stage for the acceptance speech.
Definately the wrong year for producers bringing out good movies. No chance against lotr
This is like NBA teams trying to beat Jordan and the Bulls in their peak. People were simply playing for second place
Every Time I watch TheLord of the rings I think to myself : "That's it!! That's the best one you'll ever see!!!!"
Truly I've seen it zillion times and I still cry every single time ... And goosebumps, oh God those goosebumps... Dear Lord! Only He Knows how much it means to me and how it changed my life completely. Not only it is the greatest movie of all times but I can tell for sure that nothing will ever ... Ever... EVER!! - come close to this greatness!!! THANK YOU Mr Jackson and even more thank You , Professor!

+Johnny Phesto Ian McKellen was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 74th Academy Awards; he's the only actor in the trilogy to get such nomination. Even in the Fellowship, they had 9 main characters and several secondary characters. I completely agree that throughout the entire trilogy, there were too many actors to narrow down who should get nominated for Best Supporting Actor/Actress.
Cinematography should've won too
and Sound Editing
This was back when award shows were about good work and talent. They weren’t political or woke.
the fact it was a FANTASY movie that did this incredible achievement speaks of the absolute film masterpiece TROK (and the trilogy as a whole) is. I and millions of other fans will be forever grateful to the wonderful team that gifted us with such an amazing experience.

I actually agree with the Oscars on this one!
Sean Astin should have gotten a nomination for "Best Supporting Actor"
So did Andy serkis honestly
zteevy dood same here too
Bob Newbe superhero
Then it probably wouldn't be "a clean sweep".
@@jp3813 still deserved the nominations regardless
17 years later and I still can't believe this won Best Picture. One of the best decisions the Academy ever made
Totally deserved. It's a classic, it's a masterpiece, gold standard for fantasy and in general movies. In my opinion the greatest movie trilogy to date.
Oh, Oscars. Miss the days where the good movies actually win.
Lol, you really dont watch many movies
Aw man, if only you were wrong.
Oscar's 2020 was a garbage fest
@@Rinesmyth literally one of the best Oscars, the deserved people won in almost every category
@@jjmcn8377 you can't say that for the best animated feature. Klaus got snubbed
@@Rinesmyth okay that's fair i do agree on that
but basically other category bar a few i agreed with or can't argue against
I just love how Steven Spielberg announced the Best Picture -- truly, "a clean sweep"
Return of the King was a brilliantly edited movie. It was like watching an epic poem. They deserved all the awards they got.
Peter Jackson pulled off an absolute masterpiece. Perfect story, perfect execution, perfect timing. What an absolute GIFT he and his crew gave the world with this movie. No other movie stood a chance. Really sad that the Tolkien estate never embraced these movies they are works of art.
The Tolkien Estate must not have seen the movie(s) or understood how it would encourage book sales on into the future. (I was inspired to read the books from having lived in a house in Hollywood called "Rivendell", named by the resident college students who read the books soon after they were first published.
When I look at the Lord of the Rings trilogy which I have seen about 10 times now, I see the cast and crew who put their blood, sweat and tears into these films, especially Peter Jackson. You watch the appendices of the films and you see just how hard everyone worked. This trilogy is the greatest trilogy of all time.
Still annoys me that Fellowship of the Ring lost to A Beautiful Mind in this category. It's great they recognised the trilogy in the end but should have bagged at least two Best Picture awards.
***** I have actually never seen Chicago, but given that The Lord of the Rings films are my favorite films of all time, I doubt that it even stands a chance of not being crushed by the masterpiece that is The Two Towers.
+Bknowles1998 Fellowship is my favourite, which prompted my initial post, but yes you are totally right about that.
+Zac Spearman A Beautiful Mind is quite a forgettable film.
The pianist was an incredible film
LuKasAV6 no, is not
This is what happens when you respect Tolkiens work, regardless if you “own the rights” to tell your own story and craft Tolkiens work with LOVE while understanding how much It means to the worldwide lovers of Tolkien.
Thank you Peter Jackson ♥️
I have no doubt you’ve read the novels, so why are you so grateful for Jackson’s adaptation? I wanna preface and say that I absolutely believe that two things can happen at the same time: one can love Tolkien’s work and praise it, and they can also love what Peter Jackson did with his adaptations and praise that. But what I don’t understand is when those who present themselves as Tolkien purists praise Jackson’s work as if it is the utmost faithful and precise adaptation of the books, which it is absolutely not. There are so many drastic departures from the books that I’d need twenty sets of hands to count them all with my fingers. The story of Lord of the Rings is about good triumphing over evil, man overcoming his temptations, and doing the right thing in the name of what’s good in the world, and ANY group or person or COMPANY that is dealing with the source material, knows that. Why do you think Peter Jackson made these movies? Why do you think MGM and New Line and Warner Bros made these movies? I’ll tell you: to make MONEY. That’s why any movie gets made, not because a faithful adaptation is owed to an estate or fan base. I really dig your enthusiasm and appreciation for the lotr trilogy and Tolkien’s legacy, so I hope it’s coming from a 1000% genuine place in your heart, because I’m sick of the negative attention this franchise is getting at the moment. It’s absolutely not deserved and people ought to just move on instead of being hot and bothered in comments sections.
Sorry for sounding passive/aggressive (probably more aggressive than passive) I truly am not trying to come at you personally, I’m just bummed at the current state of fandom, and how when some “fans” don’t seem to like something, they just try to bring others down
And to be honest I sound like such a crybaby that I’ll probably delete that comment in the morning
@@brianscli9567 No you are right, whenever someone comments something like this on anything related to the movies and compares it to Rings Of Power for not being 'Tolkien' enough, it's a very obvious tell they haven't read the books.
@@jj-tw6eu and also haven't watched the new show either. These are the sort of people that were complaining months ago about the hypothetical show.
@@jj-tw6eu A lot of us have read the books. RoP is infinitely worse to the lore than PJ's LotR. It's not even close.
IT'S A CLEAN SWEEP
You're _god damn right_ it is.
*The best movie trilogy of all time.*
It’s not a trilogy, it’s one long movie
Michael Scott nope
Daniel Birkhoda Why not?
Nope
@Wes Bradley-Taubner Dark Knight is ruined by the 3rd movie.
This movie was a masterpiece and it definitely deserved the award way more than any of the other films!!! I'm so proud to be a LOTR fan :')
Fun fact: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is currently tied with James Cameron's Titanic and Ben Hur 1959 as the most Oscars a film has ever won. And it deserved every award and more.
It says so right in the video...
@@remembernavarro5344 the video is 13 yrs old. The comment is 5 months old. The original movie and Oscar's happened almost 20 years ago. I think they were commenting that it still stands 20 years later
@@VeteranGaming_GamingUnitedyeah but still there’s no need to comment on that
@@andreimcallister1365 One might have thought about Oscar inflation with Titanic 1998 and Return of the King 2004 being just six years apart. But because nothing came close since, it is definitely remarkable.
They LITERALLY say this in the video lol
Do not forget perhaps the most stunning thing about this epic....the SOUNDTRACK by Howard Shore, the best in history.
An undeniable masterpiece!
Sean Connery must have been seething. For those who don't know he accidentally turned down the role of Gandalf lol
Jozhster Honestly, so glad he did.
Love Sean. But Sir McKellen was perfect for the part.
+Jozhster yeah he said something that he couldnt understand it. hard to read the guys mind and than he does league of extraordinary gentlemen and has an arguement with the director. well i guess hes been in the business longer that sir ian mcmellan so i guess it just showed.
+Jozhster Thou shalt not pasH :)
+Jozhster To be honest with you, I don't think that Sean Connery would make a good Gandalf. Ian McKellen, to me, made that role legendary.
The Lord of The Rings will always be a monumental achievement in modern cinema.
I think every single person in New Zeeland was thanked or honoured this night...
Anyone else agree that Viggo Mortensen definitely should of got an Oscar nomination??
Jack McClelland Absolutely. As great as it was to see this movie get all 11 awards it was nominated, it's still a shame it didn't receive any acting nominations/awards. This was such an stellar ensemble cast.
Maybe graciously, not defiantly.
he's talented, but he doesn't like these things, i'm guessing he doesn't care very much. He might get one eventually.
He's now nominated for Best Actor
@@darrenng3863 A day may come when I will accept this great honor the Academy has bestowed upon me, but it is not this day! This day I fight! **stabs the presenter in the heart**
Remember when Oscars didn't just go to mediocre historical dramas? Now the academy just hates fiction.
Birdman is fictional so finnaly we get a new film that isn't set in a historical period or based on a true story winning best picture. Slumdog Millionare I think was the last one.
Channel Blaino: Birdman is not a purely fictional movie: The main character is an actor who used to be famous with an animal-themed superhero role, now his career is downhill and he's finding a way to revive it. It resembles Michael Keaton.
Fiction is the common term for every film that isnt a documentary or 100% based on true events.
Technically the movies are ALL fiction. The documentaries are non-fiction
@@angelinatemelkovska450 To my memory, I think it's the only fantasy film that's ever won best picture if you other than shape of water
And then Bezos comes to fuck it up
This Oscars ceremony took place on a Leap Day!
(February 29, 2004)
The Greatest movie of all times!!!!
Amen!
This was 10 years ago. I'm just gonna pause for a while and let that sink in.
It's still the best trilogy ever
Tempus Fugit!
15 years
I opened the door, but no sink there after 4 years
Tom Fegredo Your comment was 5 years ago. I'm gonna pause for a while and let you sink that in.
There could never be any other winner. An absolute masterpiece.

2021: That didn't age quite so well....
And the results show of how the Oscars in 2021 were a disaster.
