 The Young King by Oscar Wilde
Certain it was that the old King, when on his death-bed, whether moved by remorse for his great sin, or merely desiring that the kingdom should not pass away from his line, had had the lad sent for, and, in the presence of the Council, had acknowledged him as his heir.
And the young King plucked a spray of wild briar that was climbing over the balcony, and bent it, and made a circlet of it, and set it on his own head.
He stood there in the raiment of a king, and the gates of the jewelled shrine flew open, and from the crystal of the many-rayed monstrance shone a marvellous and mystical light.

 Forever Oscar
"King," the conclusion to film history's most celebrated trilogy, was a slam dunk; "River" had Clint Eastwood's cachet; "Seabiscuit" was the strong dark horse you couldn't bet against.
A compromise between the MPAA and the Academy finally put encoded screeners in the hands of Oscar voters willing to sign for the privilege, but that came after weeks of delay and frustration.

 The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - Return of the King Oscar Predictions (and post-Oscar Comments)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
I've been to some Oscar prediction sites, and it seems that most everyone, acclaimed movie critic or otherwise, is fairly positive that ROTK will win at least one of the two "big" awards.
Well for one, the Oscars are a political, corrupt and ridiculous affair anyway- that's why they were so scared of Moore last year- and I don't think PJ himself really cares if he gets Oscar recognition (Nor, I would think, do most of the cast).
I for one don't care much of the Oscars, they never reflected the quality of movies, not even their popularity, so it's gotta be politics.

 'Return of the King' Oscar-worthy? That'll be the day
That is what I'll likely be accused of for not cheering on "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" this Oscar Sunday.
Because "Return of the King" committed three crimes: It was boring, it was predictable and it was redundant.
But in less-pleasing ways, "Return of the King," is more of the same: more Orc hordes, more Ringwraiths flying on dragonlike creatures, more oliphaunts (like gigantic elephants), more Smeagol/Gollum obsessing over his "precious," in that obsequious, lisping voice.
