Simple. RotK beat Mystic River because it's about ten times better.

I haven't seen Mystic River, but am glad RoTK won. It really deserved it.
I have always considered LoTR to be one of the most difficult material to adapt. It's too damn vast.

LOTR and Mystic River were both excellent. I wouldn't have minded if MR won but I feel LOTR was worthy of the Oscar.

LotR are three of the most boring films I've ever seen, but they're better films that Mystic River, which, although a good film, is hugely overrated, IMO.
