No LOTR did not deserve all of those 11 Awards even if I consider it to be one of my favorite film trilogies of all time. Other movies certainly deserved much more recognition this year, but I am not surprised. "The Academy" has been biased beyond belief for ages now and if you just realized that I have news for you: everything in mainstream culture is fixed to make the most amount of people happy. Popularity contests abound.

Either way, the more we go in this direction, the less Awards mean each and every year. Sooner or later, the masses may catch on and the self proclaimed "Academy" will be left scratching their heads.

Film is an artform. And it should be appreciated as such. Trophies mean nothing. A film-makers vision and everything between that and an audiences reaction, no matter what size, means more than anything else by far.
