Thank you Cast/Crew (including Jackson), for inventive filmmaking, clever ideas, wonderful interpretation.
Thank you, New Line Pictures, for taking such an awesome risk and putting this film in the hands of a brilliant, previously underestimated director.
Thank you Mr. Tolkien, for we are remembered once again that wonderful world and characters you created that will continue to entertain and fascinate millions.
