Yeah, I know. The Lord of the Rings didn't win Best Picture, or even any of the Oscars that really counted. It's a horrible injustice, I can't believe it either, blah blah blah.
But I think what's happening is this: The Academy is waiting to see what the whole series is like before they go passing out the most coveted awards in film to a fantasy-genre entry. They want to see if Peter Jackson can keep it up.
Besides, it's not like Oscars are the only thing that makes a film memorable decades after the fact. After all, Star Wars sure didn't win anything, and yet it's the first film that most people think of when asked "Quick-- name a movie!"
We'll get our satisfaction. Oh yes... we most certainly will.
