Middle-earth Saga Revisited
For those who might have forgotten, the Lord of the Rings saga was originally penned by the British author J.R.R. Tolkien. Peter Jackson delved deep into the five-part epic to deliver us three breathtaking installments: “The Fellowship of the Ring” (2001), “The Two Towers” (2002), and “The Return of the King” (2003). The epic blockbusters dominated the Oscars, with “The Return of the King” sweeping eleven awards!
