Return of the King Oscar Predictions (and post-Oscar Comments)

[Essex]

So ROTK won best Ensemble at the SAGs (in other words best film)

This is good news but what was even better was Sean 'Let's be terribly important for a moment' Astin being barged aside by John Rhys Davis when he was rabbiting on and on in his acceptance speech. And then John introduced 'the worst actor in this room' Bob Shaye, who we all know is probably the 2nd most important figure in the making of these films. (ie he stumped up the money)

So all bodes well for Best Picture, but if I had to chose 1 oscar for ROTK to win I would want it to get Best Director.

Apologies, I've only just seen the SAG thread.
