Its been a tough path for the team who worked on The Hobbit-The Desolation of Smaug, especially awardwise because the release of this movie is so close to when many of the major awards are handed out that it gives films released earlier a bigger advantage. Anyway I am just so happy that DOS team has been recognised for its efforts.
