Some movies that won several awards include: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring with four awards, and Moulin Rouge! and Black Hawk Down with two Oscars each. The 74th Academy Awards were very successful and entertaining, and even history was made, due to the fact that Halle Berry was the first African-American to win Best Lead Actress.
