Return of the King Wins Four Golden Globes

Posted by timothy on from the thank-all-the-little-people dept.

stubear writes "According to MSNBC, 'Lord of the Rings: Return of the King' won 4 Golden Globes, for Best Picture - Drama, Best Director (Peter Jackson), Best Original Score (Howard Shore), and Best Original Song ("Into the West" by Howard Shore, Fran Walsh and Annie Lennox). LotR: RotK was the big winner for the night, at least for movies. Hopefully LotR: RotK will fare just as well, or better, at the Oscars."

    IMO ROTK and TTT really sucked monkey balls, especially ROTK. I am aware that LOTR movies have become our next Linux (even among the general population), so we are not allowed to bash it, but the last PJ's film was really horrendous. Matrix sequals, on the other hand, were pretty solid films. Not to everyone's liking, that's for sure, but you can't say they were poorly made.

    So the real moral is that there is no significant statistical correlation between quality of movies and the amount of awards they get.

    I really hope PJ's fanboys would stop obsessing about him and his crappy movies (not FOTR, it was excellent). But, oh well, the chances for that are pretty slim...
