In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh. Forgive me, fairest of all males of Entmoot...Back down, all ye other wannabe fairest males! Dunedain is the fairest!" --Linaewen |

Never before have I actually recognized the names of the people nominated for the production type awards (costume, sound, etc.) until the LotR movies -- I guess I've watched way too much about the "making of."
BTW, what does it mean by "orange film?" |

It's a new category this year: Best Film Made Entirely in Different Shades of Orange.
Actually, Orange are a phone company who sponsor the event; I think that it's decided by some sort of public vote (probably by Orange customers or something) |

BTW, much as I liked MR, I have to say the ending was utter crap IMO. They'd have done better to cut at the scene when the guy is walking away down the road - the whole carnival scene bit annoying and pointless. Apart from that, great film though Don't want RotK to win 'best adapted screenplay' on principle. Oh, and because it's craply adapted of course! I found Kill Bill to be awful, and I'm the most 'action flick' guy I know. The anime stuff was cool, but the actual film was rubbish - Uma Thurman just can't act. It's a measure of how bored I was with the film is that my enduring memory of it is the close up of Uma's foot when she's trying to wriggle her toe. Damn that woman has ugly feet! BTW anyone else find it amusing that it's Matrix Reloaded and NOT revolutions in the Orange award? Must say, part 2 was better than 3, although part 1 was still the best (and should never have spawned any sequels). Last edited by Gerbil : 01-22-2004 at 03:13 PM. |

you're absolutely right on the matrix movies.
sequels usually suck.

So RotK won BP in the Golden Globes so I guess that is supposed to nix the chances for a BP Oscar.

What's the track record for 'globe win means no oscar'? Anyone done any research?
Oh, and a win for Ricky and The Office, I used to live in Slough for a bit and it really is as depressing as it looks in the show! |

I had always heard (or thought I'd heard) that the GGs ARE good predictors of who will win an Oscar. (Esp. the drama catagory, because we all know comedies rarely win.) I'm not sure what the logic would be regarding it not being a good predictor (unless I'm thinking of nominations rather than wins )

My previous estimation was based solely on the opinions of a self-proclaimed expert. My mistake.

Best Actor: Jonny Depp: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl!
Wow! I didn't see that coming. I mean he was great in the movie, but I never thought that the academy would nominate him for it. |
