In what could be a trial run for the Oscars, the last "Lord of the Rings" was declared Best Film on the night of Feb.15 at the Baftas, the British film industry's big night of the year.
"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" landed four Baftas at the London awards ceremony.
But Peter Jackson, the New Zealand director of the fantasy trilogy, had to share the limelight with the seafaring epic "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World" starring Russell Crowe, which also landed four Baftas.
Jackson captured the most coveted prize of the night but was beaten to the Baftas Best Director gong by "Master and Commander" director Peter Weir.
Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson scooped the top acting honors of the night for their critically acclaimed roles together in "Lost in Translation."
The Baftas used to be announced after the Oscars. Now they come before the big event, the Baftas awards have been given a major fillip, because Hollywood studios are eager to send their big guns over to London for publicity in the run－up to Hollywood's big night.
