The 94th edition of the Oscars will roll out its red carpet on Sunday March 27, a carpeted path along which the movie stars of the moment will parade. In 2022, it will be 21 years since the debut of The Lord of the Rings trilogy in theaters, films that managed to triumph at the Oscars with 17 awards in total. Years later, The Hobbit tried to follow the same path, but the carpet race ended with a total of zero prizes.
The team formed by Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, joined by Guillermo del Toro in The Hobbit, adapted these two trilogies to the cinema. The success was especially reflected in The King’s Returnal, which received 11 nominations and obtained the plenary, for which it equaled the number of awards to Titanic and Ben-Hur. However, this Oscar-winning stint wasn’t reflected in the casting. Ian McKellen, Gandalf in all 6 films, earned just one nomination for his work in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

The JRR Tolkien saga will return to audiovisual media with two different projects: on the one hand, The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim, an animated film set long before the events of the novels, which will be part of the Cinematic Universe of Peter Jackson; on the other, the Amazon Studios series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, the first season of which will be released on September 2, 2022. The story takes place in the Second Age, so it is a prequel.
