"Return of the King," which led the field with 11 nominations, swept its categories, winning for adapted screenplay, musical score, song, visual effects, editing, makeup, art direction, costume design, sound mixing, director and best picture. "I especially just lastly want to thank our wonderful cast who just got their tongues around this rather awkward text and made it come to life with such devotion and passion and heart," said "Lord of the Rings" said Jackson, who shared the screenplay prize with co-writers Philippa Boyens and Fran Walsh. Composer Howard Shore took his second Oscar for writing "Lord of the Rings" music, having won two years ago on Part 1 of the saga, "The Fellowship of the Ring." "Into the West," the wistful tune of farewell from "Return of the King," won the best-song Oscar. The song was written by Fran Walsh, the film's co-screenwriter; Howard Shore, its music composer; and Annie Lennox, who sings the tune."
This is the only movie I saw in the theater this year...looks like I chose well...MUD
"Last offseason the Redskins signed 17 new players, and this offseason promises more of the same -- and potentially more of the same tail-chasing, unless Gibbs can change their philosophy and make smarter roster choices. The addition of Mark Brunell at quarterback and Portis in the backfield in exchange for Bailey and a draft pick, while intriguing, does not begin to address all of the Redskins' problems, and may even create new ones. The truth of the matter is that the Redskins entered this offseason in need of no fewer than nine new potential starters, including a safety, three defensive linemen, one, if not two, linebackers, and a tight end. That's almost half a team."
Joe Gibbs'll do what it takes to make this team a winner again!!
