Spidey-Bat said:Return of the King only got it because the prior 2 films were snubbed. It was a good movie, but Fellowship was more deserving.
Million Dollar Baby only got it because of Clint Eastwood.

OMG!Spidey-Bat said:ROTK isn't the best of the trilogy. The Aviator should have won over Millon Dollar Baby, but the Academy seems to like keeping the tradition of snubbing any Scorsese movie.

He married Anne Hathaway in 1582. The film takes place in the 1890's.
there is no Anne Hathaway listed in the film on IMDB.

and as for the most historically inaccurate movie ever, Braveheart has to feature somewhere round abouts
Firstly, William Wallace did not get Queen Isabella pregnant as implied (and thus is not the direct ancestor of the present Queen). Apart from the fact that they never actually met in real life, far less had sex, Wallace died in 1305 when Isabella was 13 and hadn't married Edward II. Indeed, Isabella's son wasn't even born until 1312, which would have made for a rather long pregnancy even if they had met.
Edward I did not die as Wallace was being executed, and did in fact live for another two years, finally toppling off the mortal coil as he rode north for another attempt at subjugating the Scots
Wallace himself was not a peaceful farmer driven to rebellion by the murder of his wife; he was a minor nobleman who had been carrying out a guerrilla-style war with the English for many years before the events of the film.
Robert the Bruce and Wallace were enemies (Bruce being one of the two main claimants to the then vacant Scottish throne, and Wallace being one of the other claimant's supporters) and Bruce would hardly have invoked Wallace's name at a battle fought nine years after the latter man's death.
characters are invented, (the nobles Lochlan, Mornay, and Craig) or real ones have their names changed (Wallace’s wife Marion is “Murron” in the film, as the film-makers did not want to confuse viewers with the heroine in Robin Hood’s story).
