Glad that LOTR won this award (and many others). Almost teared up when the theme music played! Tobey and Kirsten are adorable together, would have liked to have seen them walking on to the stage together.

[@jwelch5742]

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring had great visual effects.

[@PaulGLarsson]

Best lotr Film imo

[@9and7]

Paul Jesus Agreed.

[@Winduct]

jwelch5742 In my opinion, the best visual effects in film simply because they didn't look like visual effects for a single second.

[@9and7]

Winduct Well said Sir. Well said.

[@matthiasmoylan4815]

Paul Jesus it’s also my favorite film and it has my favorite visuals

[@muffinman5741]

fellowship of the ring should have all the oscars the other two movies got. It was the best LOTR movie and was highly ignored by the academy that year.

[@jamiek1714]

True. It's a travesty A Beautiful Mind beat FOTR. What a joke.

[@animalanimation5110]

The biggest robbery in the history of the Oscars is that Fellowship didn't win for production design, but it certainly was also robbed for Best Director, Best Picture, and Supporting Actor for Ian McKellen.

[@joeyjerry1586]

Very Nice, ROTK is the best LOTR movie

[@RentheGodofHumorTM]

Coincidence that the stars of Spider Man would present an award together.

[@StarWarsROTJ1983]

Spider-Man came out in 2002. It was no coincidence.

[@coool121212]

Ren the God of Humor™ its not a coincidence. spiderman won the year before and the winners of a year have to present next year.

[@harrenhal206]

This is the 2001 Oscars. "Spider-man" came out in 2002 and didn't won the VFX Oscar until 2004 (they even made a joke about it thanking there was no more LOTR films) The previous winners only present the Oscars in the acting actegories.

[@serenaistheb.o.a.t]

This is what they always do. They get the stars of the upcoming big films of the year to present together.

LOL, they do look alike. They were also both in The Ice Storm. I probably would have cast Elijah as Peter except that he couldn't really be both Frodo and Peter and he did do Frodo first.
