Your pick: favorite, best, rooting for.

Tough call.

Seabuiscut and Master and Commander are long shots. I don't think they generated enough Oscar Buzz when they were released.
Lord Of The Rings? Whie the LOTR trilogy is a tremendous achievement in movie making, I think there might be some backlash come Oscar night, but it might be a sentimental favorite.
Lost In Translation? Possible upset.
Mystic River? Oscar voters really love emotionally powerful flicks.

I think LOTR might have enough juice to go all the way.

If I was asked if LOTR The Fellowship of the Ring or LOTR The Two Towers were Oscar worthy, I would say no. However, in my opinion, I think Return of the King is different in that respect. The first two were awesome but they were not good enough (at least to me) to win the Best Picture award. Considering the other choices for Best Picture, I would say that this film stands a better chance of winning that Oscar than the previous two. However, that doesn't mean I believe it will win. I think the film that has the best chance of winning is Mystic River.

I'd say the opposite, FOTR was far more worthy than ROTK. Just because ROTK had some emotion in it didn't make it a better picture than FOTR. FOTR was the best movie. It missed its chance and I don't think ROTK is worthy to win it. The academy should honor ROTK as itself and not as a whole trilogy. as itself, its not worthy. Lost in Tranlatsion or Mystic River is.

I was suprised not to see cold mountain in there.

LOTR:Return of the King

EricIdlefan · 01-28-2004, 04:22 PM

LOTR because they are long overdue after two tries to the Oscars!!

Rhiannon · 01-28-2004, 06:57 PM

Lord of the Rings! It's time a fantasy finally won...and LOTR too after 3 years of nominations.

GeorgeJefferson · 01-28-2004, 08:33 PM

Mystic River was the best movie of the year. I would also put Seabiscuit and the snubbed Cold Mountain over Lord of the Rings: ROTK.
