I am really happy for those guys. That was probably the biggest undertaking in motion picture history and for it to be of such high quality was very impressive. Probably some of the best film making of all time. Only downer of the night for me was Bill Muarry not winning. I think Penn will have other chances, probably not for Bill. Penn was very, very good. But I think Muarry should have won. Anyone have opinions.

I was extremely happy LOTR won. I thought Bill Murray looked exceedingly pissed off when they announced Sean Penn's name though.

I've seen all 3 several times..........I actually thought the first 2 were better on their own..........Jackson tried to jam too much into the 3rd.........Taking a good chunk from the 2nd book to put into the final installment.......Shelob for one thing..............
He should have done more with the post battle Shire........There was much more to the story when the Hobbits got back to the Shire than Jackson put in the movie.........
All that said I'm very happy with the outcome and think it was more on merit for a job well done with the entire trilogy..........AKA reddevil

No, but to his credit, I forgot that Bill Murray was Bill Murray in LIT. That's the biggest compliment I can pay to him. I think he's hilarious, but whenever I see him in a movie I don't see his character, I see Bill Murray. This last movie I saw the character.
Showier, yes. Effective? Definitely.
The entire ensemble was first-rate. And to his credit he turned in two outstanding performances this year, including 21 Grams.
His win is best described this way to his detractors: After viewing, you can honestly say he didn't deserve to not win. Could have gone either way, but its not like he didn't deserve the honor."Let me lay it right on the line. Bigotry and racism are among the deadliest social ills plaguing the world today.

I can't wait for the DVD to come out for the final movie because then we can see all the extra bits that Jackson couldn't fit into the version for the cinema.

It was the perfomance of his career and IMHO was more of a stretch than Penn playing another of his dysfunctional characters that he's made a career of. Not saying Penn wasn't very good. I just thought Bill was better.
Unfortunately for Bill, he is/has been viewed as a semi-prick, aloof, and difficult to deal with over the years.
Surprisingly, Penn is not viewed this way...too political, maybe, but not difficult. And more important, he has a track record over the past 6 years of commendable performances and nominations.

I hated, absolutely HATED Lost in Translation. That said I was rooting for Bill Murray. I think he gave a good performance. But Penn was phenomenal (IMHO) in Mystic River. Johnny Depp was also great in Pirates. To almost be fired for portraying "too gay" of a pirate, then to convince everyone it would be well received, and for the film to gross more than the other 4 movies combined is quite a feat.
I don't think you could have gone wrong with any of the 3.Sponsor of Adam Wainwright

All three of the LOTR movies deserved to win.
But yeah, I was delighted that ROTK swept last night.
Should have had acting nominations, at least for Elijah Wood, though.
I get the impression that they are all supporting characters.........The complexity of the story almost lends itself to 3 main subplots...........AKA reddevil
