Lord of the Rings Takes Its Place at the Top!
I am pleased. I am very pleased. "Return of the King" pulled it off. I . . . Well, I'd like to say that I knew it would, but I merely hoped it would. After all, the Academy isn't exactly known for handing out awards to the right people these days.
But now the greatest movie trilogy of all time (to date) has been given full honors, as is only natural. Eleven Oscars! w00t! Not only is it tied with "Ben-Hur" and *gags* "Titanic (Load of Crap)" for most Oscars of all time, but it now holds the record for a film winning all of its nominations. This record was previously held by "Gigi" (of all things) and "The Last Emperor" which each won all nine of their nominations.
Anyway, this is really, really great. And now . . . 5 . . . 4 . . . 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . *real life resumes*
