On this episode of Oscars Playback, editors and experts Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen discuss the 2004 Oscars ceremony where Hollywood crowned "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" the biggest sweeper in Academy Awards history. The Peter Jackson epic went 11-for-11, tying "Ben-Hur" and "Titanic" for the most Oscar wins ever. But did it deserve all the love, and was 2003 in film a banner year for releases?

On this latest episode of Oscars Playback, experts and editors Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen discuss the infamous 2003 Oscars ceremony, where Harvey Weinstein had three of the five Best Picture nominees and won with "Chicago." The ceremony also included three wins for Roman Polanski's "The Pianist." Even Steve Martin's monologue has aged liked milk. But Joyce and Chris discuss the ceremony, the winners, and 2002 in film -- plus Martin Scorsese's battles with Harvey over "Gangs of New York."

Oscars Playback has returned! The season kicks off with the 2002 Oscars, post-9/11 America, and Tom Cruise. "Is it important, is it even important, what I do? What about a night like tonight? Should we celebrate the joy and magic movies bring?" Cruise asks during his opening speech. "Well, dare I say it, more than ever. A small scene, a gesture, or even a glance between two characters can cross lines, break through barriers, melt prejudice, and just plain make us laugh. A little bit of magic. That’s just me. What do movies mean to you? Pull up a sofa, it’s just us talking, it’s Oscar night." The 2002 race was marked by some vintage Oscar smear campaigns, historic wins for Denzel Washington and Halle Berry, and big victories for Ron Howard and "A Beautiful Mind."
