HURRAY!!! Finally, LOTR has been awarded with the recognition it deserves. It totally made my day when they won Best Picture and PJ won Best Director, not to mention making a clean sweep of everything.

It's high time the Academy recognized that a movie's being in the fantasy genre doesn't automatically disqualify it from being in the running for the really big awards. Kudos to PJ and all the people who did their best to bring Middle Earth alive for all of us.

I do share the sentiments of those who were disappointed about Johnny Depp not winning for POTC, though.
