LotR:TRotK deserved every one of its Oscars, and I thought the Academy did a better-than-usual job (with the exception of Sean Penn beating out Bill Murray). Even the political screeds of previous years were kept to a minimum.
But I can't figure out why. Normally, the Weinstein brothers are always able to buy their way to the big awards (ref. Shakespeare in Love beating out Saving Private Ryan.), but this year they couldn't even get a Best Picture nomination for Cold Mountain. Tonight it was like the Academy was seized. mostly, by a wave of taste.
But the political stuff is easier to figure out. Last year's Michael Moore onstage antiwar filibuster was an embarrassment that even the staunchest of Hollywood lefties hated (the early-on montage included a shot of Moore being stomped on by a LotR Mumakil to audience applause).
