Fantasy is an \"F\" word that hopefully the five second delay won't do anything with.\"\u003cbr/\u003e27. Cast and crew of \"The Lord of the Rings\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe epic journey of a raggedy gang of humans, hobbits, wizards, dwarves and elves hoisted the fantasy genre to Oscar glory as \"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King\" won a record-tying 11 Oscars, sweeping every category in which it was nominated, including best picture.\u003cbr/\u003eThe directing Oscar went to Peter Jackson, overlord of arguably the biggest undertaking in cinema history, the simultaneous filming of J.R.R. Tolkiens Middle-earth trilogy: \"The Fellowship of the Ring,\" \"The Two Towers\" and \"The Return of the King\".\u003cbr/\u003eBilly Crystal, returning as host for the first time in four years, opened with his usual montage of nominees, having himself inserted into spoofs of key Oscar contenders, including Diane Keaton's screeching nude scene in \"Something's Gotta Give\".\u003cbr/\u003eCrystal also sprinkled political references through the opening moments of the show.\u003cbr/\u003eOther top Oscars played out predictably, with front-runners claiming all four acting trophies, the first for each.\u003cbr/\u003eOscars for supporting performances went to Tim Robbins as a man emotionally hamstrung by childhood trauma in \"Mystic River\" and Renee Zellweger as a hardy Confederate survivor in \"Cold Mountain\".\u003cbr/\u003e\"Return of the King\" matched the record 11 Oscar wins of \"Titanic\" and\"Ben-Hur\" and became only the third movie to sweep every category in which it was nominated, following \"Gigi\" and \"The Last Emperor\", which both went nine-for-nine.\u003cbr/\u003eNearly every winner who accepted an award for the \"Lord of the Rings\" thanked the people of New Zealand - Crystal then joked that there was no one left in New Zealand to thank.\u003cbr/\u003eDirector Errol Morris' \"The Fog of War\" - a portrait of Robert McNamara, US defence secretary for much of the Vietnam War - won the Oscar for feature-length documentary. \u003cbr/\u003eMorris compared US military action overseas today with the Vietnam era.\u003cbr/\u003eSofia Coppola's Oscar victory for original screenplay for \"Lost in Translation\" made her family the second clan of three-generation Oscar winners, joining Walter, John and Anjelica Huston. \u003cbr/\u003eHer father is five-time Oscar winner Francis Ford Coppola, who was an executive producer on \"Lost in Translation,\" and her grandfather, Carmine Coppola, won for musical score on \"The Godfather Part II\".\u003cbr/\u003eSouth African-born Charlize Theron won for best actress as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in \"Monster\".\u003cbr/\u003eIn \"Monster\", Theron was virtually unrecognisable, packing on 30 pounds (13 and a half kilogrammes) and concealing her cover-girl beauty behind false teeth, splotchy makeup and dark contact lenses.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I know everybody in New Zealand's been thanked, so I'm going to thank everybody in South Africa, my home country,\" said Theron, who had been generally regarded as a lightweight actress before \"Monster\".\u003cbr/\u003eSean Penn took the best-actor prize as a vengeful father in \"Mystic River\".       \u003cbr/\u003ePenn, who skipped the Oscars when previously nominated for \"Dead Man Walking\", \"Sweet and Lowdown\" and \"I Am Sam\", showed up and accepted graciously, although he made a crack about there being no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
