Return of the King Oscar/Awards thread

[Glordreen]

I am proud to be a ringer this night! I can now take a break from my obsession of Oscars (a much deserved break). Now for the celebration! This was the best Oscars ever!!!!!!!!!

[Smeagol]

Goodnight, adt100! :applaud: I bid you and everyone else a fond farewell as I, too, plod off to bed.

I also apologise for my pessimism over the past 3 years and rejoyce in the amazing 11 victories (17 for the trilogy)!

:lol:

So, here at last, on the shores of the sea, comes the end of our Fellowship. I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil. :)

[PsYkOoOoO]

Are you waking up to the news, or did you stay up all night?

[FinlandCat]

I am so happy. I was screaming and jumping... I am so happy for Peter, and for everybody! Sean was so happy when he was crying.. This is a great and fantastic night!!! Im bit sad because Johnny and Bill Murray, they was my favourits. But it's ok, they can get Oscars in future!

[Glordreen]

I didnt think it was going to win 11, I predicted 7-9, but I knew it was a posibility. This is so awesome!!! It deserves this more than any film in history!!!

Two Towers was so much better :p

[PsYkOoOoO]

Yeah. :applaud: I just don't like setting myself up for disappointment so I am usually naturally negative, but I'm delighted to be proven wrong.

My next worry is about Passion of the Christ surpassing ROTK at the Box Office. :eek: Though, I'll sleep on it. ;) I'm supposed to be in bed, but I just want to watch the news clips on every channel! This is an historic night! :D

[RonStopablefan3]

Me too , man. That was the best , I'm so happy "LOTR" won best picture and pretty much everything else , so I'm feeling pretty dang happy , later all , I'm going to go see "The Return of the King" for a third time....

[Glordreen]

This night was absolutely spectacular!!!!!!!

[PsYkOoOoO]

It feels so much different to listen to the score and watching the movie.Haha.

[RebelwithaCause]

I KNOW IT!!! I JUST...I'M KEEPING MY CAPS ON!!! LOL!!! I'M JUST THAT HAPPY!!!

BTW, MY APOLIGIES FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO BE HERE...I WAS IN SPIRIT....I AM PROUD TO SPEND THIS NIGHT WITH MY FELLOW RINGERS....

*REBEL PUTS UP A DRINKING GOBLET

VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PsYkOoOoO]

The lady who directed The Barbarians Invasion:Thank you The Lord of the Rings,for not being nominated in this category.

I was laughing my head off.

[drjones]

I'm glad for LOTR, but I don't think it deserved all the Oscars it got. Makeup and Visual Effects should have gone to "Pirates" (Visual Effects; only because they looked better, even if there were fewer effects). Clean sweep is still incredible. Congrats to the filmmakers.

[PsYkOoOoO]

I agree with drjones.Its just unfair really.Haha.

[RebelwithaCause]

LOL...I sense sarcasm PsychoOoO....lol....

[Glordreen]

I am going to bed, goodnight.

:)

like i said, i believe in preparing for the worst, and hoping for the best. i just didn't want you to miss the joy that was happening tonight.

i wouldn't worry about LOTR being passed at the box office. yes, P of the C has had a good start, but how many people will go back to see it 6 or 7 times, like they've done for the trilogy??? once probably, twice maybe, but more then that/?? no, i can't see that happening.

this is a good day!

IF IT DOES IT DOES....BUT IT WILL NOT MATTER....AS MUCH AS THE PASSION HOLDS A DEAR PLACE IN MY HEART, IT DOES NOT TAKE LOTR FROM ME....LOTR IS THE BEST MOTION PICTURE EVER CREATED....NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. IT DESERVES EVERYTHING IT GETS...BUT NOTHING BEATS IT. IT IS THE BEST MOTION PICTURE OF ALL TIME!!!!! HAIL THE VICTORIOUS ROTK!!!!!!!!!

[PsYkOoOoO]

Erm.Calm down now.:P

[Rogue Program]

I don't think I want to hear "The White Tree" again for another thousand years...lol:D

Loved the oscars this year.

The opening was comic genius...Billy riding up to the top of Minas Tirith to reveal a movie theatre and Jack Nicholson as Gandalf!!! Hilarious!!!

ROTK blowing my mind by sweeping every category it was nominated for:eek: .

Most emotional moment of the night was PJ's victory, I could see him getting a little misty near the end of his speech:( .

Top 5 best dressed:

Samantha Morton
Liv Tyler
Jennifer Garner
Scarlett Johannson
Catherine Zeta-Jones

[RebelwithaCause]

I CAN'T DUDE!!! I'M TRYING, BUT I CAN'T!!! NEED....SLEEPING...PILL...HAVE....SCHOOL....TOMMOR ROW....

[PsYkOoOoO]

Samantha Morton was not best dressed!She looked like Sushi.I think Nicole Kidman dressed really well.Liv Tyler too.

[RebelwithaCause]

I LOVED HOW LIV WAS DRESSED...SHE IS GORGOUS....I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THAT SAMANTHA MORTON WAS BEAUTIFUL...I LOVED HER DRESS!!!! CATHERINE, OF COURSE, WAS BEAUTIFUL, AS ALWAYS....SCARLETT AND JENNIFER WERE BEAUTIFUL AS WELL...

[RebelwithaCause]

DAMN THEY ARE QUICK, AREN'T THEY? CHECK OUT THE OFFICIAL SITE...WOW...THEY ARE DAMN QUICK....

[RingWraith2k4]

Lord of the Oscars!!!! Congrates to LOTR: ROTK for the clean sweep!!!

IMO, Best Trilogy Ever!!!

[Rogue Program]

Kidman's fashion sense is overrated. Samantha Morton was best dressed!:mad: ..............wait.....why am I angry?........ROTK sweeped baby!!!!!!:D

I'm right, you're right, we're all right! Haleluyah!!:applaud:

[FinlandCat]

I think that Julia Roberts and Liv Tyler was both so beautiful.

[Queen Arwen]

Steven Spielberg: "And the Oscar goes to...it's a CLEAN SWEEP, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King!"

It was beautiful.

LOTR: ROTK has just tied the record for most nominations ever won (11) along w/ Titanic and Ben-Hur, and it has also become only the 3rd film to receive an award for every nomination (the others being Gigi and The Last Emperor).

[Rogue Program]

Steven seemed like a giddy schoolboy up there announcing the clean sweep:D . Wasn't he one of the directors along with James Cameron to say that they got really excited after seeing Return of the King? I love Steven Spielberg and to see him truly excited over the LOTR sweep really brought a smile to my face:) .

[Mr. Frodo]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D

Congrats ROTK and PJ you deserve it... i just got back from work to see it won all 11 thats awesome!!!

LORD OF THE RINGS RULES!

[The_Movie_Man]

Beautiful. Absolutely Beautiful. I remember in 2002, cussing at the TV because A BEAUTIFUL MIND stole Best Picture from FOTR. And being let down once again, when Chicago(which was a great movie IMO) beat TTT last year. But tonight.... HELL YA!!!!! 11/11.
Theres two endings to this film- One was on December 17, the other was tonight.

And if the Mariners win the World Series, this will be a perect year. :)

[LOTRNUT04]

^amen to that...go mariners.

[PsYkOoOoO]

Guess Clint Eastwood will be doing the cussing this year.Heh.

[PsYkOoOoO]

Didnt Gigli win every category it was nominated for at the Razzies?

jesus H christ how fast did this thread grow :o

[The Moose]

THIS IS INDEED A TRULY GLORIOUS DAY!!!!!

[LOTRNUT04]

i was really rooting for Johnny Depp for actor, too bad. I thought sean penn had a good acceptance speech though.

[The Moose]

i thought that Sean's speech was prtty good, but i thought that Charilze's speech was really long, and they would have cut her off. but CONGRATS to all involved

[Pave_Hawk]

Just want to say thanks to everyone involved in making these three films.

Finally, after years of rumours and that half-hearted attempt of an animated version of LOTR, we've got all three books on film.

You all deserved the awards.

[pungolo reporte]

well...there is an oscar in plus: the technical award to Raegulous for Massive... they earned 12 oscars, if we want to be precise...

and rotk, according to boxofficemojo, will be distributed in 800 more screens, returning on the number 2000...ehi, americans: RETURN TO SEE IT!!! ^____^

[simmy]

well, i tried staying up, but it was like 1-5am, and i had school next day...so couldnt, although i tried, then i wanted to go through the day without anyone telling me....but poo, i gave in, damnit. but watching the special bits 2nite :) yippee

I don't know where you heard that :confused: but if it's true then woah! :eek: I know James Cameron was mightily impressed with Gollum in TTT and has stated that WETA's SFX has made him motivated to make another movie again.

I didn't see Spielberg's presentation as I was cowering behind the sofa with the lights and TV switched off. ;) Nah, but really I wasn't watching that part of the ceremony: my nerves were too jangly!

[Andrey83]

Hehe :) Well, i havent heard of this either..

Oh, no. So many people in these boards used abbreviations (LOTR, etc.); how are we gonna tell the difference between "Passion of the Christ" (PotC) and "Pirates of the Caribbean" (PotC)?

[PsYkOoOoO]

Someone on the other forum was saying,"Oh my god!Potc was such a powerful film that i cried!" and i was like,"You cried during pirates of the caribbean?Scared by the pirates?"

[MovieWes]

I hate to contradict, but ROTK is in fact the FOURTH film to sweep across the board. Yes, two of them were "Gigi" and "The Last Emperor," but everyone seems to be forgetting that "It Happened One Night" went 5-for-5 back in the 30s.

[Andrey83]

well its still stronger to sweep 11 of 11 then 5 of 5 :)

[PsYkOoOoO]

Agreed.;)1 of 1 is a clean sweep too.

[MovieWes]

LOL.. that's not what I'm saying though. I'm just saying that it should be counted as the fourth film to get a clean sweep, not the third. :p

[Andrey83]

Oh, never mind my post :) Misunderstood, hehe

[PsYkOoOoO]

Oh fine.But you dont seriously expect people to remember a movie back in the 30s right?Hmm.

[Necross]

I am so happy! They deserve everyone! I also loved all of Billy's wisecracks because there was no ill will in them. And that opening part where he was Gollum, Legolas and so on was so awesome. I am extremely happy Annie Lennox won but you know what really surprised me. I loved that song from the Triplets of Belleville. Its prolly because of the performance. Anyway happiness is spewing from me. I was literally jumping up and down all night long.

Passion will not pass it. People will flock to see it but I highly doubt people will return to see it 15 times. The controversy helped it, not that it wasn't great, but the buzz around it was a tempest in a teapot. I didn't think there was any Anti-Semitism in it. That comes from Jews complaining about it, not from the movie. No one would have gone out hating the Jews, it was there own fault that became such a big issue you know what I mean?. Anyway my point, Passion will not pass ROTK.

Ok so PJ got three Oscars right? Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and for Best Picture. His wife Fran got three as well didn't she? Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Song, and Best Picture right? LOL they can share in the happiness.

[pungolo reporte]

well THIS actually is a triumph. All the web is celebrating LOTR since this morning, all the forums and the chats and the boards, all over the world. THIS IS THE DAY OF THE RING!!! ^_^

[Kashmir]

Woo-Hoo! :D I am so happy for PJ and the whole cast and crew!
Well done. :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

[pungolo reporte]

here there are a ton of video, but they are all in streaming. Does anyone know a software to capture the streaming of .asx files?? these videos are quite amazing!!!

http://www.oscar.com/oscarnight/winners/win_33155.html

[MovieWes]

The Lord of the Rings trilogy as a whole has 17 cumulative Oscars, making it the most honored trilogy in film history, defeating The Godfather trilogy's 12 awards.

[Andrey83]

Thats very strong! But it deserves it for sure! :)

[Necross]

Now I only hope I live long but die before I see another Trilogy come along and steal away LOTR's fame!

I am very positive. Not just because of PJ, but because much of the crew is returning. Weta also, and they are great!

[Necross]

Same here, when I say PJ I really mean PJ and his crew lol. Not that PJ on his own wouldn't be good, but I mean its hard to see him working without his wife Fran and Philly Boyens

[Andrey83]

Pj and his crew is very much likely the best movie crew on this earth, so I'm sure it will turn out good! :)

But what did boyens do? Write the text?

[Andrey83]

I assume that Howard shore wrote the melody

[Necross]

I know Into the West and Triplets of Belleville got great applause. Into the West more so, and it is my favorite but I loved the energy behind Belleville Rendevous

[flukeman]

I think all three (Annie, Fran and Howard) colaborated on the composition and lyrics. I believe it was most Fran and Howard on lyrics though.

Yeah, the staging of the Belleville song was great.

[MovieWes]

Originally posted by Andrey83

Remember that some of the lyrics actually came from the screenplay like the "And all will turn to silver glass" line from when Gandalf is talking to Pippin at Minas Tirith. Maybe Walsh (Not Boyens :p) was responsible for that.

[Andrey83]

But walsh wasnt up there was she. Wasnt it howard, annie, and phillipa who accepted the award?

[Necross]

Originally posted by Andrey83

Not Phillipa, Fran. Fran is the skinner one with the flower things in her hair if you didn't know. I got them confused when I first saw a documentary on tv about it.

[Andrey83]

Oh. Yea i have got them confused....but then i have got it. So fran wrote the text, howard the melody, and annie performed it?

[Necross]

Yep pretty much, Nice team work eh?

[Andrey83]

Yea :) But i still thinks the product could have been better...Dont get me wrong, i do like it, but not as much as i would like to...

[Necross]

Well fiddle dee du to you. I think its perfect

that pic was taken at the Governor's Ball. (i recognize the little pastry thing on the table with the oscars. they did a preview on E! earlier in the day.

[adt100]

If only they'd nominated ROTK for Sound (as opposed to just 3 nominees) or Cinematography, I'm sure that the 'tick all boxes' habit of AMPAS would have earned ROTK that record 12 wins, and not just 11.

Funny isn't it, how after expecting perhaps 7-8 awards (which would have been fantstic in its own right), I'm now talking about how it could have won even more! :D

[stargoddess]

Jeffrey Wells was pissed off as usual about the wins; this is the comment from one of his readers:
"LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING -- 11. Jeffrey Wells -- 0. Choke on it." -- Jay Marks

Perfect comment!

[Screwu2]

Ya congrats to every1 who worked on LOTR. Clint Eastwood got owned by Peter Jackson mystic river only won 2 oscars.

[darthspielberg]

i have said it before, and I will say it again...

I laugh at Cold Mountain...and Mystic River.

MR only got acting awards which means that Clint sucks! jk/lol!

[evenstar]

Cant wait for the highlights tonight! :)
Yep,so after all the *****y comments and all those shiney oscars, from Clint Eastwood and co hope they are all pretty embarrassed.

[redman]

i watched a replay of the oscars this morning. its still sweet.

[LegolasIsntSexy]

hey hey hey...watch it with the Clint Eastwood bashing! even though i was rooting for Return of the King all the way, hes a great director and actor! but he sure did get OWNED! haha

yea...im so glad it swept. 11 for 11...nothin better then that. a lot of people in general movies are pretty ticked. oh well.:)

[Glordreen]

I am proud to announce that the ROTK sweep last night was the biggest in Oscar history. Sure it tied the record for the most wins, but it went 11 for 11. Ben Hur went 11 for 13, and Titanic went 11 for 14. There are only two other films that won everything they were nominated for, and those were Gigi and The Last Emperor, each going 9 for 9. So this makes ROTK's sweep the biggest ion Oscar history. And ROTK has tied for the most wins in Oscar history!!!!!!!!!!This is absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!! I am still bouncing off the walls!!!!!!!!!!!

[Omega Supreme]

I'm thrilled that it won all the awards it was nominated for. Congratulations to everyone involved!

I'm particularly thrilled to see a fantasy movie make the biggest sweep in Oscar history. Hopefully this will open a few more doors.......

[Illuvatar]

Do you guys know when the re-runs will be?

[Glordreen]

ROTK is the first Fantasy/SciFi film to ever win BP!!!!!!!!! And also its the first time the third part of a trilogy has won BP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm eagerly awaiting the firs batch of new adverts to take advantage of the post-Oscar success with 'Winner of 11 Academy Awards'... :applaud:

Hopefully they should air within the next few days.

I was watching Extra yesterday and they had a little snippet interview after the ceremony with Spielberg and he said:

"This is a big, big night for all of us who love science fiction and fantasy and films that celebrate the imagination like Lord of the Rings did"

Sounds to me like he quite liked the film. For Steven, who directed movies like E.T., Close Encounters, Minority Report and A.I., this must seem like vindication for these genres.

It's great to have the support of Steven Spielberg. :)

[flukeman]

[Andrey83]

i know its pirky, but why is the legolas image from FOTR, when its about ROTK ;)

[adt100]

It could actually from the EE (at Orthanc ;) )

Either way, I really hope in the next few days we have this pushed on TV adverts, I've seen none in the UK so far, how about people in the US!?

[flukeman]

I haven't seen anything either adt (I'm in the US)...I don't watch that much television, but I would think I would have seen something if they were running.

6 Academy Awards for The Two Towers....wow....I didn't think there was that many....

This years Academy was the only one I sat and watched the entire awards show straight from the red carpet, preshow countdown, to the end of the awards. 11 Academy Awards out of 11 Nominations....ROTK rules.

Big D

[The Moose]

it was 6 oscars for FOTR and TTT, not just TTT Big Daddy

[Andrey83]

I dont understand why TTT only got to. And ROTK got 11. I meen, ROTK was better IMO, but not THAT much better.

[evenstar]

Well, the acadamy claimed it was waiting for the final film. I think many people just see it as the filler, Rotk was a final conclusion that made it obvious what it deserved.

[Andrey83]

oh....wel...ROTK ROCKS ;)

[evenstar]

nicely said :)

[Andrey83]

Now isnt this just the top moment? ;)

http://vunct.com/~jasonalter/jackson_spielberg.jpg

[TyRoss]

Of course the most important ceremony is still to come. And I think ROTK might have a shot at a few awards in that one. ;) :p

[The_Manipulator]

Oh my!!! Is PJ crying?
Oh my that is so sweet!!!

*sobbing* Indeed Andrey, indeed, it is the top moment!!!
Why do they have to take their ugly camera almost right up in his nose, when he's having such an emotionel moment just after the Oscars???



I know it's spelled wrong....

? say what ty?

[TyRoss]

Why comingsoon.net's very own Reelie awards of course.

The final nominations should be ready for y'all to vote on tommorrow.

(this has been a blatant advertisement) :p

[Andrey83]

I wonder what they are talking about....hmmm

steven: "lucas want you to direct 7,8 and 9" ;)

steven : "what do you think of bad taste Vs. Jaws peter?"

steven: "lets make a t-rex meets mumakil movie ay"

:p

ahh...didn't notice it was for noms/wins together...my bad!

Big D

[moviegeek]

what kind of awards are on the reelies?

[The Moose]

t-rex vs. mumakil would be interesting to watch.

something that i'm wondering about from the oscars.

do the members of the orchestra get told who wins when they get there in the morning, cos they have only the music that they need, and in the appropriate order. does anyone actually know what happens with this, as there is simply no way that the members of the orchestra could find the appropriate piece among the bag of stuff they'd have to take in the tiny time between the announcement of the winner and the commencement of the music

Actually its the fourth to win all awards it was nominated for.This movie in 1930s did so too.Forgot the name...

[The Moose]

was it Casablanca?

[Brock Landers]

Casablanca was from the 40's, dude.


Was it GONE WITH THE WIND?

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

Got my votes in. :)

[The Moose]

just after i clicked "Submit" i realised that it wasn't from the 30s

[Kerry from Cali]

Originally posted by The Moose

no, it was a movie with clark gable (not gone with the wind)

it happened one nite, maybe.?? can't think of the title just now. it won 5-5 i believe someone said.

[The Moose]

gone with the wind was the film that i was thinking of. just got my wires crossed

[Kerry from Cali]

i just double checked. it was "it happened one nite"

1934
it won:

best picture
best director
best actor
best actress
best adaptation

[Darth Barth]

got my votes in too..although I must say I am a bit biased

[The Moose]

that's a pretty good haul, seeing that there weren't anywhere near as many categories

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

After the REELIES, I guess the next award show or shows are the MTV MOVIE AWARS and the PEOPLE's CHOICE.

You can expect it too sweep the MTV Movie Awards. Two towers did last year. As for the people's choice, i believe POTC might take ROTK's glory considering the vast majority who vote are house wives.....you know the kind who went to court to get those parental warnings put on cds. I mean Mel Gibson won for best actor last time and he didn't even star in anything that year. People aren't too smart when they vote....

[PsYkOoOoO]

I voted.Haha.

POTC will not be included in the Peoples choice next year. The Peoples choice Awards takes movies from November to November. So only the movies that came out between November 2003- November 2004, will be eligible.
