Well ya, that's true. Thing is, there is a general consensus in both Geekworld and the 'real' world that the movie was well done. I don't like to quote statistics to defend works of art, because Britney Spears and NSync sell huge amounts of records, but they suck. Or, Celine Dion. Or.... Nevertheless, the film is likely going to be nominated for a bunch of Oscars tomorrow, and I don't buy the 'because it was a weak year' argument. This film stands on its own. If TTT or RoTK are improvements on FoTR, which Jackson says he is aiming for, I think one of the three films will take best picture.
