[OT] Lotr:FotR is now an Oscar winner

[DarkCrisis]

A fantasy movie never has or will win an oscar... a love story type film always wins best picture... its sucks but its true... I felt LOTR got jipped... especially for Ian for support actor and best song...

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Well there is always the MTV awards, where the good movies actually win.

Hey the oscars had that Ben Stillar/ Owen Wilson rip off clip, maybe next year they'll steal the good movies win idea!

[BI changed the channel when Halle Barry started balling[/B]

I think you mean "bawling".

(Tho' Halle Barry balling on stage might actually be worth seeing, depending on who else is involved. )

- Sir Bob.

P.S. Nih!

 

[Skywalker]

Oh, come off it - in a truly "faithful" adaption, The Fellowship of the Ring would have been a musical.

On ice!

I can hear the posts now...

Everyone screaming "LotR was ROBBED!" And it was. I mean let's face it. IF Holywood or uhm Hollywood is SERIOUS about good films, and rewarding them, they need to look over what they chose at least in more than THREE catagories. My god...

I just hope there's some rioting tonight...

AAARGGHHH!!!

Okay, now my best hope is that it will get what it deserves after Return of the King. Maybe they will honor it once the whole thing is complete.

LOTR-FR WAS ROBBED

To Show our support for LOTR everyone should go see the movie again!!!!

 

[Squire James]

I have to note that a solid second place is not bad, especially given the competition LoTR:FR had to face in just about every category. Quasi-historical movies always seem to have the edge when the Motion Picture Academy is judging things, and at least we didn't lose to M. Rouge or (ye gods) Gosford Park!

 

[I'm A Banana]

Heh. Rioting. That'll be effective.

A Million Nerd March comes collectively out of their darkened basements, blinking in the sunlight, carrying authentic swords and dressed as various Star Wars characters. They approach a car, try for a minute to push it over, and then walk, breathless, back to the basement to quote The Simpsons to each other on message boards.

Worst Award Show Ever

Okay, that's not true. It was worse when Titanic one every-friggin'-thing.

But Beautiful Mind for Adapted Screenplay?! That's one I *didn't* expect them to win.

"There is an inn, a merry old inn..."

Baz Luhrman should have directed it!

Moulin Mordor! Lord of the Rouge!
