Which Peter Jackson film won 11 Academy Awards?

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King won 11 Academy Awards. At the 76th Academy Awards on February 29, 2004, Peter Jackson's fantasy epic won every category in which it was nominated, making it one of the most successful Oscar performances in film history.

The film won Best Picture, Best Director for Jackson, and awards for adapted screenplay, film editing, cinematography, art direction, costume design, makeup, original score, original song, and sound mixing. Its 11 victories tied the record for the most Oscars won by a single film at that time.

The achievement was especially notable because The Return of the King completed a single, interconnected trilogy. The earlier films, The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, had also received numerous nominations and wins, but neither matched the finale's total.

A common confusion is to remember that all three trilogy films were major Oscar contenders and assume one of the earlier entries won 11. The record belongs specifically to the 2003 finale, which also became the first fantasy film to win Best Picture.
