Of the noms, obviously Lost in Translation but I totally understand why they chose LOTR. For the overall year, I'll have to go with The Return.

I haven't made it through a full viewing of The Room.
I have only seen clips here and there.

Lost in Translation should have won that year hands down. Very few films feel that candid and realistic. I feel that the "romance" between the two characters was genuine and really heartfelt. Really hits you hard when you're not sure what direction your life is going in. Makes you feel good.
Again, here are my favorite movies of that year, excluding LIT and LOTR with films in bold being true favorites... Finding Nemo Capturing the Friedmans Bus 174 The Station Agent (This was filmed where I live) American Splendor The Triplets of Belleville City of God 28 Days later Far From Heaven Mystic River Kill Bill Vol 1 Master and Commander The Five Obstructions A Tale of Two Sisters 21 Grams Confessions of a Dangerous Mind 25th Hour Bubba Ho-Tep House of Sand and Fog Irreversible Elephant Dogville Oldboy 11:14 A Mighty Wind Open Water Touching the Void |

In all seriousness, mine would be Kill Bill vol.1, although it doesn't seem (on paper, at least) to be that great of a year in films. Bad Santa is great though.
