I watched it last night, I thought Peter Jackson was close to tears when he went up for the Best Director award.
I hope it does really well at the Oscars, though I am not sure it will be successful with all 13 nominations, that is perhaps asking a bit too much.
I am curious what sort of effect this will have on subsequent installments. If LotR: FotR does really well and Two Towers is just as good will it be ignored by next years awards on the grounds of being 'more of the same' I wonder?

Not really. LotR was all filmed at the same time, it's basically a big long movie released in three parts, much like the Salkind three/Four Musketeers (though that wasn't planned to be two movies..Eternalknight said:I would be interested to know how Star Wars was recieved when it first came out. Both it and LotR are trilogys; is it fair to compare the two?
