Yes, if what I'm reading about the rest of the movie season is true, it's very possible that the movies this year might be mediocre enough to warrant 'Return of the King' getting more Oscar notice.

And your assessment of 'Chicago' is simply 'I didn't like it thus it shouldn't have won' and ignores the runaway success of the piece commercially and artistically, not to mention ignores the fact that the musical itself is considred an important and timeless piece of theater, just as the movie will end up. Not to mention that Zeta Jones and Gere both had stage experience in musicals -- the fact that yahoos in America didn't realize they had proper training and experience, doesn't mean they didn't have it. Only Zellweger was a novice at musical theater.

In 2002, a year that saw the smart and well-crafted and original 'Adaptation' go without a nomination, Jackson's cartoon saga getting a nomination was the outrage of the year.

(Also, it's been widely reported that 'Chicago' won its Best Picture Oscar narrowly over 'The Pianist,' so its not like 'Two Towers' ran some close second.'

If 'Return of the King' wins Oscars, and it very well might, it will generate far more outcry from true fans of film who see it for the unimaginitive and rudimentary pap it truly is more than the outcry from fanboys who want to see it win something it never deserved.

I disagree that this has been a mediocre year for movies at all -- we've had some flat-out excellent dramas (LOST IN TRANSLATION, AMERICAN SPLENDOR, CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND, MATCHSTICK MEN), some great all-ages fare (BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM, FINDING NEMO, SCHOOL OF ROCK), some smart, clever action/suspense movies (X2, SWAT, THE ITALIAN JOB, IDENTITY), plus A MIGHTY WIND...new Tarantino and Coen Bros. projects opening this weekend...and still two months left to go in the year.

The LOTR movies are far from my cup of tea, but even if they were, there's some really stiff Oscar competition out there.

(And I agree with the above comment that ADAPTATION wuz robbed!)

MATCHSTICK MEN was great! Who says it's a mediocre film.

Foolishness. Pure foolishness says that.
