Peter Jackson – “the sweep is unreal”
Backstage, after the Oscar ceremony was over, Peter Jackson said, “All I’m feeling right now is absolute disbelief…you hope that you will win something, but the sweep is unreal. It speaks to the fact that people enjoyed the movies that we made on all levels, and that’s the idea – you want people to enjoy it.”

I was so excited that they got a clean sweep! 😀 Go PJ! Go LOTR!
To be up there with Ben Hur (lets try and forget about titanic shall we…), is AMAZING. I am thrilled that Lord of the Rings has finally been given the Acadamy nod with The Return of the King.
At last Peter Jackson has been given the recognition that he deserves and also congratulations to EVERYONE who was involved in the making of this Film of Films.
I am so proud to be a Tolkien fan today, more than usual, the only thing that dims my joy a little is that the actors didn’t win any of the acting awards. However I’m sure that they all felt proud to be up there with PJ on the night and I am certain that PJ is immensely proud of his cast for their part in bringing Middle Earth to life.!!!!!
As am I.
All I can say is: It’s about bloody time!!! I have been for this moment for… well, since FOTR. Now it’s come. Cheers to PJ and everyone else! You deserve it in every way.
YAY!!!! YAY FOR PJ!!!!
I wasted precious sleep time to watch this but it was worth it! 😀 LOTR FOREVER!!!!
