Did "LOTR: The Return of the King" Deserve Best Picture?
In this episode of A Take on the Academy, host Matt Sprosty is joined by Kyle from I Know Movies and You Don’t and returning guest Andy Barlow to tackle one of the biggest Oscar juggernauts of all time: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Should it really have won Best Picture in 2003—or was the Academy rewarding the trilogy instead of the film?
We debate its legacy, pull apart the competition, and each present our own Top 5 films from 2003 as a revised Best Picture slate. From Lost in Translation to The Corporation to Kill Bill: Vol. 1, it’s a year packed with cinematic heavyweights—and some tough calls.
