Screenwriter Fran Walsh made history when she won three Oscars in one year for Return of the King, the first woman to do so.
The Big Picture Most actors and filmmakers can only dream of holding an Oscar in their hands at the end of the famous annual awards night. Winning an Academy Award continues to be a marker of cinematic excellence, where this achievement can represent a career high for many in the industry. Some talented recipients have even managed to scoop up more than one of these golden trophies in a single night, a triumph that solidifies careers and creates lasting legacies of stardom.
Walsh’s second Oscar was for Best Adapted Screenplay, an award she shared with Jackson and fellow screenwriter Philippa Boyens. This win speaks to the incredible challenge the production team were faced with when it came to adapting the final installment of the trilogy.
Musical Acclaim Alongside Screenwriting Genius Walsh's third win for the category of Best Original Song merits her contribution to two songs on the movie's memorable soundtrack, namely "Into the West" and "A Shadow Lies Between Us." She is credited as a producer and co-composer on these tracks, songs that contributed to the incredible atmosphere and drama of the movie.
