Well, yeah, I'm sure the money helps... ;)

But also, his goal was to make a movie made BY Tolkien fans, FOR Tolkien fans. The vast majority of those Tolkien fans heartily approve of his efforts, so I think that's what they all want, more than recognition by the Academy. You can tell that by the fact that rather than rushing off to the hottest post-Oscar party, they all went to the TORN party before hitting the rest of the circuit.

He's already taken a goodly sum of my money to the bank. With the DVDs and two more movies coming out, he is assured to get more in the future. This is one Hobbit who's happy to increase his wealth.
