Much to all us Lord Of The Rings aficionados joy, The Return Of The King scored a clean sweep at tonight's Oscar ceremony, winning all 11 of it's nominations. Peter Jackson appeared scruffy haired and sans shorts to pick up his trophies as he got best director as well as best picture.
One movie that I am interested in seeing and that was featured in tonight's Oscars is "The Triplets of Belleville" an animated feature that was five years in the making. They played the song from it tonight and featured a musician playing a bicycle and another one playing a vacuum cleaner. It sounds like it's out there.
I would also like to see Bill Murray's latest, "Lost In Translation" as I've always been a big Bill Murray fan. Was it just me or did he seem really disappointed tonight when he didn't win?
And finally, it was amazing to see how many beloved personalities we lost last year as honor was paid to those who have passed on including Gregory Hines, Buddy Hacket, Buddy Ebson, Charles Bronson and of course John Ritter.
