It holds the record for most Oscar Wins along with Titanic and Ben Hur. www.theonering.net is SLOOOOW, plenty of traffic on that site at the moment.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>All I can say is that I'm not surprised, what I was surprised was that the first two movies didn't sweep the awards, as the movies that did win weren't that good at all. Chicago? A Beautiful Mind? ha! =P

Anyways, they deserve all those awards. Considering they won just about every major award there minus the acting ones, I would say that they should have just had the set as one big Golden ring insteady of the ridiculous one they did have.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>As far as whether the movies deserve the Oscars, it's kinda hit and miss. I blame Titanic on a slow movie year. Chicago? Haven't seen it, but it kinda looks cheesy. A Beautiful Mind? Yes, that was definately a good pick. Overall, I do think that the Oscars are pretty "accurate", but it's all based on opinions.</div>

The 3rd one might have been disappointing for some, but I wouldn't consider it sucking "more balls than a vietnamese hooker".</div>

Most award ceremonies are a sham, but often they do have some accuracy to them in relation to the overall movie going audience's opinion.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>But honestly, I still find the MTV movie Awards to be more accurate for the most part. That's quite possibly because they have a much larger voting base, and the base isn't politically motivated, they are movie fans who vote for what they enjoy the most.</div>
