"Gigi" and "The Last Emperor" have.

TaylorM · 02-29-2004, 10:27 PM

LOTR tied with Ben-Hur and Titanic for the most awards. That's saying a lot comparing it to Ben-Hur.

LOTR!!!

Stomped · 02-29-2004, 10:29 PM

Titanic didnt won also 11 oscars?

LadyD · 02-29-2004, 10:30 PM

wow, isnt this the first time an action/fantasy movie has won best picture?

Bansheelinks · 02-29-2004, 10:30 PM

Titanic never went 11/11, nor did Ben Hur

Yeah, at the end they mentioned it tied for the most awards won with Titanic too. I was surprised.

hottoddy · 02-29-2004, 10:31 PM

But tonight's coronation was really for the whole series. Up till now, the others only received costume/technical/special effects type Oscars.

Bansheelinks · 02-29-2004, 10:33 PM

11/11 never been done before.........

I've said it b4, and I've seen thousands upon thousands of movies, ROTK is the best movie I have even seen.

Congrats to Peter Jackson........you have now become a legend of film and no one deserves it more!

SWEEP BABY!!!

And Hottoddy, it IS the best trilogy of all time as well, leaving all others in the dust...........can't wait for the Extended DVD Special Collection Issue of them all..........up on the mantlepiece those will go.

I haven't even seen any of the LOTR movies.. i feel out of the loop.

chodadog · 02-29-2004, 11:05 PM

I liked the LOTR trilogy. But i think they had quite the gall to change things from the book. Why was the shire never burned? Why did so many people that died in the book survive in the movie?

The whole point about great victory only coming with great sacrifice is kind of lost when nobody fucking dies.

slackologist · 02-29-2004, 11:07 PM

well deserved..

Trafficbrokercom · 02-29-2004, 11:18 PM

I thought the same thing until I watch the dvd when peter jackson and about 20 other people go into great depth as to why they did things the way they did...why some people never died, why some characters in the book (tom bombadil) never made it into film, why some characters (faramir for example) acted completely different in the film then they did in the book, and why some speeches were delivered by completely different characters (something like wormtongue gave speech in the film that was originally given by gandalf in the book) etc, etc..

Made sense when they explained it, then again they are the ones

all the way to the $$ bank

That wouldn't have changed one bit had they stuck to the story exactly as Tolkien wrote it.

I still enjoyed the trilogy, though.

loverboy · 03-01-2004, 01:41 AM

grand slams for the Hobits

X-Wing · 03-01-2004, 01:49 AM

Peter Jackson desrves it all the way.

Bansheelinks · 03-01-2004, 01:56 AM

Its nice to see the Academy get with it for once. Its a shame it had to take a behometh film like ROTK to finally break thru for the fantasy genre. But what a record setting breakthrough! The other two that won 11 didn't have a clean sweep. This is unprecedented.

Now, about that Extended version DVD, Peter?

Apparently in May we can look forward to an extended version in the theatres.

More oliphaunts, fellbeasts, orcs, and hobbits; yeah, I think I can handle that :D

KraZ · 03-01-2004, 02:43 AM

A well-deserved win for ROTK

As was stated before (not by me), the sweep was really for the entire series, not for just ROTK. Well deserved for the series IMO.

I've never bought a DVD in my life, but I sure as hell will be buying the extended version of all 3 movies when the collection hits the shelves.

I just hope they edit the 4 endings of ROTK into one merged ending like it should have been done in the first place

hoe_vender · 03-01-2004, 03:52 AM

josipk · 03-01-2004, 03:54 AM

good for them. I'm yet to see the first movie.

djhits · 03-01-2004, 04:34 AM

all of the LOTR's movies are great, the third is best by far.

i woulda guessed they would get 8 or something but 11

rjstar · 03-01-2004, 06:13 AM

Good film, deserves to win them all.

Living For Today · 03-01-2004, 06:15 AM

i still havent seen any of the lord of the rings yet. i cant seem to motivate myself to do it either. i mean fuck it would take literally half a day to watch the whole lot.

Extended versions of part 1 and part 2 are already out. Each set has 4 dvd's each, lots of cool extras. Impossible to watch back to back, would take over 12 hours lol.

Ross · 03-01-2004, 09:43 AM

Yep they pretty much destroyed everything !!

insanesurfer · 03-01-2004, 09:48 AM

LOTR was a wicked ass movie that I can't wait till it is to the point that they have a box set out for all the movies

maxjohan · 03-01-2004, 10:35 AM

Jackson wants to do the book Bilbo(before the ring) in some years.

damn, I need to see the return of the king...

strobi · 03-01-2004, 10:37 AM

Well you sure have something to look forward to then, my friend. It is amazing how much work went into this, and how interesting this created world is. Its the best trilogy ever, nothing else is even close (The Godfather series comes closest but the 3rd one was putrid so that one got dragged down).

And Return of the King is simply a masterpiece........if you let yourself go and lose yourself in it, it sure doesn't seem like 3.5 hrs; not too often a series can sweep you away and capture the imagination.

Sifu · 03-01-2004, 11:05 AM

Peter Jackson should fire his stylist. He looked like a warm pile of smelly shit.

All that matters is that the South African chick won - way to go Charlize !!!

I think "The Hobbit" will get done, but only in around 4 years or so when negotiations are agreed upon between New Line and MGM as to the rights of the movie.

And of course, the great Peter Jackson will direct.

GonePhishing · 03-01-2004, 12:37 PM

LOTR was soooo damn good. I think the trilogy was the best set of movies since the first three star wars flicks.

zzgundamnzz · 03-01-2004, 12:39 PM

Was funny how when other people won, they were like: Glad LOTR can't compete in this category

stevecore · 03-01-2004, 12:41 PM

I really think his next project should be taking on the "The Chronicles of Narnia". That would so kick ass to see all seven books done in the same style as the LOTR trilogy.

Actually they're already prepping that. Jackson isn't involved but Weta workshop are doing the effects and they're going to be filming in New Zealand starting this summer I believe.

Jackson is doing King Kong next

NICE! i knew Jackson was doing King Kong but what a waste... if they've got the WETA crew behind them then it should be on point. looks like they're gonna skip right over The Magician's Nephew just like Jackson did with the Hobbit. What's with fucking up the actual storyline??
