Peter Jackson Shared How He Felt About His 'Lord of the Rings' Films Getting Oscar Nominations While Promoting 'The Return of the King'
In an interview promoting The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Jackson shared how it felt receiving Best Picture nominations for both the 2003 film and the first movie in the franchise, 2001's The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings. The Heavenly Creatures Director explained that he didn't focus his energy on ensuring his Lord of the Rings films would win Oscars. Rather, as a fan of Tolkien's books, he wanted to make films that honored the original text. Jackson clarified that he did want audience and critics to enjoy the films.
"The Oscars tend to be just sort of like an extra bonus on the end. The nominations are fantastic. And, you know, they're ultimately peer compliments, really, from other filmmakers who think you've done a good job, which is really great," said Jackson during the 2003 interview.
