Put The Hitmen On Retainer
I agree that it is unlikely that LOTR:FOTR will win the Best Picture or Best Director awards that it richly deserves, and that it will instead go to some more mundane film that the Old Guard at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences adore. I agree that it will probably lose in the acting categories where it contends, and that it (again) will go to someone that the Old Guard adores. I forsee that LOTR:FOTR will win a few technical awards, and there is an outside chance at awards in the Screeplay and Score categories, but none are likely in the categories that really matter in the end: Picture, Director, Actor/Actress & Supporting Actor/Actress.
That doesn't make it right.
Find the fossels and quislings responsible, kill them and repeat until the Oscars stop being some hideous farce of a peer-granted award of merit.
