We spent nearly two hours saving our seats, eating, drinking, and looking at the decorations. Finally, the Oscar ceremony started! We stayed pretty much glued in our seats for the next three hours, watching the ceremony on a huge screen in the theater along with nearly 1,000 other Lord of the Rings fans. Sir Ian McKellan gave an Oscar early in the ceremony.
