[OT] Lotr:FotR is now an Oscar winner

[Nightfall]

Okay now I'm going to do something that's fairly unpopular and say this. MOULIN ROUGE SUCKED! I rented, watched, was not impressed. In fact I suffered through the damn flick ONLY because I had a friend that needed cheering up and SHE hated it too. So honestly, while I can stomach Russell Crowe wininng, at least that's because A Beautiful Mind (which was a good book), has something to it.

 

[Nightfall]

Yeah, she is good, but who's this Ben Stiller guy who won Best Supporting Actor, anyway...??

<joking!>

I know what you mean... I don't think I've HEARD of this guy. (Course I may have seen him in a film...but not one I remember off hand.) I remember Dench because she played M in the first of the Brosnon Bond films. And she was awesome in Shakespeare in Love.

Yea i don't get the hype over Moulin rouge either, It's a fruity musical, give me a break. LotR all the way!

 

[Skywalker]

Moulin Rogue definitely came out of left field But so has everything Baz L did.

Even though I hate musicals, I enjoyed this movie and appreciated and respected what he was trying to do with Moulin Rouge. Gutsy and very well done.

I think Jim Broadbent won for his performance in Moulin Rouge!, even if his nomination said Iris. Typical Academy silliness.

Ben Stiller is the guy from Something About Mary, Meet the Parents etc. Not Oscar material IMO. Sir Ian should have gotten it. Just his facial expressions as Gandalf should have given it to him. But that's just my humble opinion.

So when are the next awards due?

 

[Skywalker]

There is about 4 minor awards (inc best song which LotR is in for) and then the biggees. A wee while yet.

Ok, keep us on the other side of the world posted!

Ok, so you're in a bar.....
