lord of the rings won because it's director peter jackson never publicly ridiculed the academy or hollywood the way lucas has. Besides the point, marcia lucas said according to the book skywalking he would have won if he wanted to, but he thinks the academy awards are just b.s. not indicative of a person's talent. oh by the way, I saw the lion the witch and the warbrobe trailer before revenge of the sith and it was better than that whole movie, being from the same creative people behind lord of the rings trilogy films, except of course peter jackson, it was directed by the guy who did shreck 1 and 2 don't know his name.
