Every year we get a TON of people making Oscar preditions.

Fraser sends along the translation to the Maori words at the end of the TTT credits, take a look! [More]
Fraser writes: An overseas friend has suggested I share with TORN readers the meaning of the Maori phrase that appears in the credits that roll at the end of LOTR: TTT. The phrase in Maori is:
“He maungarongo ki te whenua He whakaaro pai ki nga tangata katoa”.
The phrase is commonly translated into English as:
“Peace on earth, Goodwill to all mankind”.
A great and fitting sentiment to crown a great film!
