Academy awards' nominations were announced today. King is nominated for 11 awards but that doesnt include any of the acting awards. I was expecting a supporting actor's nomination for Sean Astin. Anyway, it seems almost certain that its going to get the best picture and/or best direction awards.

For some reason, even though King is a great movie, I wasn't quite as excited after watching it as I was after Fellowship and Towers. I guess thats mainly because King has many more similarities with Towers than Towers had with Fellowship. It seems in a sense Towers part 2. Anyway, the series as whole definitely deserves at least one best film and best direction awards.
