If anyone did not see what Gene Shalit said on that FYC ad a few pages ago, which I wanted to find but couldn't...this is another quote of his that I love...and was fully surprised to find coming from him...an awesome quote which I hope they use on one of these ads soon....

"I have never before seen the equal of The Lord of the Rings, nor ever expect to. It is the picture of the century."

I got a feeling he will be up for Supporting at the Oscars. Just a feeling. Whenever critics discuss the acting in ROTK, it's always positive for Sean Astin....plus his mother has won it before, and Hollywood loves legacies :D

[RebelwithaCause]

That could very well happen.

[The_Manipulator]

Yeah....I really hope so. I don't think LOTR actors and actresses has got that much attention to the big awards and oscars....! :(

[Glordreen]

Possible change of plans

I have just been informed that the Genral movies forum will have a Golden Globes chat thread. Do you guys want to still have our chat in here, or just join the Genearal Movies forum chat?

Up to you guys, Im fine either way.

[The Moose]

i think that we should have our own one, to save the people getting pissed at us for saying that ROTK has to win, and stuff like that

[Glordreen]

No change of plans

The live coverage chat for us ringers will remian here. It starts at 7pm pacific time. Be here, or be......uh........elsewhere.

Yeah, I agree.

[Glordreen]

Should I make a new thread for our Globe chat?

[The Moose]

you can if you want to

[Brock Landers]

Nah, let's keep it here :)

[Glordreen]

What I was thinking. We'll probably just have it in here.

In bed most likely. :(

7pm PST = 3am GMT. Hopefully I'll be waking up to good news though. :)

[The Moose]

7pm PST=4pm NZT so i will most probably be here

[Brock Landers]

7 P.M. PST.....hmmm, what time will it be here? 7:00 PM PST :D

[Smeagol]

I thought the ceremony began at 1am, GMT? :confused: Oh well, I'll have to check out the results when I wake up on CEEFAX page 501. :p

[Glordreen]

And what time will 7pm PST be here. 7pm :cool:

[The Moose]

and we hope that you will wake up to good news

[Glordreen]

3hrs and 25 min till chat begins. Well actually it can already begin, but thats the time when the Arrival show starts.

[RebelwithaCause]

My only problem is that it starts at 5PM eastern time, and the awards show begins at 8PM eastern time...see, the show will be over when we start watching it...my only problem is that some butthead might come in here and spoil it for us...the results are announced while the show is going on. Is that still gonna be a problem?

[Glordreen]

Hopefully that wont happen. I think we'll be alright if we dont make a new thread, and I have only metioned it in here, so we should be okay.

[The Moose]

i've got the arrival show here live, but the TV is a LONG way away from the comp, so i can be either here or there

[adt100]

According to TORN the show starts at 8.00pm EST, which as Smeagol said would be 1.00am GMT, just under 1 hour away.

That's surely 5pm PST, so what's with the 7.00pm figure? :confused:

[The Moose]

i have no idea. i just realised that it's actually 2 pm here that the ceremony starts

[Glordreen]

I dont know, but I checked my guide and my dish. Both said the arrival show starts at 7pm, and the ceremony at 8pm (PST of course).

[The Moose]

and what time is it there now Glordreen?

[adt100]

A check on the official site has the show starting on NBC live at 8.00pm EST, that's only half an hour away!

[The Moose]

8pm EST? this is interesting indeed. that meets with thte 2 pm, at which time the red carpet stuff ends. i'll zip off and see whet's happening on the TV

[Glordreen]

Originally posted by The Moose

4:49pm. Trust me though. It starts at 8pm PST also, I know. my guide and dish do not fail me. Ask Brock also and Rebel they say the same thing, they also live in the PST Time Zone.

[Glordreen]

I fo you guys find out stuff before we west coasters get a chance to see it, please do not spoil it or mention anything of the winners.

[The Moose]

i just watched E! for a few mins, and they said that the show starts at 8pm on NBC, but it didn't specify as to whether is was PST of EST

[Glordreen]

Its both. PST is just delayed for some reason till 8pm.

[Glordreen]

2hrs and 5 min till the preshow starts for us West coasters. I have to step out for awhile, but Ill b back before 7pm PST.

[The Moose]

aha. now it makes sense. whilst i was watching, Cate Blanchett was walking around. mostly there for Veronica Guerin, but she should be happy if ROTK wins best picture

[UnicornBlood3]

Aww man I didnt get to see Cate!

[The Moose]

she was wearing a red dress. hair piled up. that shows how much i know about hairstyles

[UnicornBlood3]

lol I'll have to look for her..

[The Moose]

and of course PJ. but that doesn't need to be said

[UnicornBlood3]

Yeah I still havent seen him..Or Orlando I might add ;)

[The Moose]

who else is going to be there?

[UnicornBlood3]

I'm not sure..I dont even know if he is..I'm hoping though..

[The Moose]

i'm pretty sure that PJ will be there

[UnicornBlood3]

Most likely..

[Glordreen]

Im back, wow that was short. Well we got 1hr and 38 min until the arrival show on NBC. I know thtere was that stuff on E! but there is also one on NBC.

[Lurtz_2000]

Moose. isn't it on live on E! from 5pm to 7pm. then on tv2 from 8pm to 10.30pm???

[Glordreen]

Not where I am. It just has the red carpet stuff then goes to a different show. NBC has the rights to it, so Im pretty sure it will only be playing on NBC.

[Lurtz_2000]

in the tv guide it has ours

[Glordreen]

I saw Cate there, but thats it.

[UnicornBlood3]

I just saw PJ!

[Elessar504]

PJ is here!!!

Cate looks amazing!!!

[UnicornBlood3]

She does! I love her dress!

[The Moose]

yay. is fran with PJ?

[UnicornBlood3]

I dont know. They only showed him for a second while Cate was up there..

[The Moose]

well, she usually goes to awards with him. was he wearing his usual purple shirt?

[UnicornBlood3]

Nope he was in a suit. lol

[The Moose]

he wears a purple shirt with a suit sometimes

[UnicornBlood3]

Hmm I think it was a regular one..but I don't really remember...

[The Moose]

well, some of us don't care much what people are wearing. i was just seeing if PJ is still going with his purple shirt

[Glordreen]

52 min till the arrival show for us West coasters.

[Rizor]

PJ's there? Cool. Didn't see him. I think I saw Saul Zaentz though.

[UnicornBlood3]

Theres Elijah..Oh its talking about LOTR now! :)

[UnicornBlood3]

I saw Fran I think..

OMG IT WON! Go Howard Shore! :applaud:

[Rizor]

Another one!

[UnicornBlood3]

Yes! It won again! :)..I'm getting to excited!

[The Moose]

was that for score, or song(Into The West)

[Rizor]

What are the chances it'll win 2 more? ;)

[Rizor]

Originally posted by The Moose

[UnicornBlood3]

I'm hoping it will! :)..Think they like it that much?

[Rizor]

I was doubtful it would have won Song and Score, but now that it's taken both, I have no doubts. :D

[The Moose]

but i think that they were nominated in 2 separate categories.

[UnicornBlood3]

Yes..I guess I should stay optimistic!

[Glordreen]

Dude, you guys just ruined it for me:(

At least its not BP or BD. Oh well I dont blame you guys. I wont be back until 8pm pacific time, dont want any further spoilers..

[UnicornBlood3]

Aww..I'm sorry Glordreen!

[The Moose]

YAY. i hope this is indicitave of the rest of the night

[UnicornBlood3]

Here we go this is it for Best director..

[Rizor]

YES!!!

[UnicornBlood3]

:applaud: OMG! Yes!

[Elessar504]

PJ is the best director!!!

[UnicornBlood3]

I'm so happy! :)

[Elessar504]

[Darth Barth]

[Kerry from Cali]

I am *so* happy for LOTR. Just beyond happy, really.

(tho I do see the irony, that the awards show is filmed IN CA (3 hours south of me) and I have to find out all this dish from people in different states.)

Bring on the Oscars!!!!!!!!!:applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

I wish I could give credit where credit was due, but I haven't a clue. A girl I know on a newsgroup I used to be on all the time, alt.fairs.renaissance, had it in hers, and we joked about it one time when we'd been inundated with trolls. It seemed to fit. ;)

Kerry =)

[LOTRNUT04]

^i love the quote, anyway, nice rhyme in your first line.....(like that! :))

[Glordreen]

YES!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am on the west coast and just got finished watching the Globes, and all I can say is HELL YEAH! ROTK 4 for 4! Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Score, Best Original Song

kerry =)

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE OSCARS!!

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

Let me quote Gollum in reguards to the oscar:

"it's ourssssssssss..."

"oursssssssssss."

[The Moose]

and we know what to say if there is a problem with the counting of the votes "they stole it from us"

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

Yup.

[The Moose]

and then

"give it to me"

stupid fat academy

[RebelwithaCause]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry I couldn't have been here chatting it on with you guys earlier, but I didn't want it spoilered. Just finished watching it on west coast and...dude, I am so happy. I had a feeling after the score and song wins...then after director it was just...you knew. They didn't give them enough time to talk though for picture!!!!! PIGS...lol...but then again, it did win all 4. Oh man, I'm just so happy...that is just....great. Just great.

Now to the road to the Oscars is covered with gold....

ALL HAIL THE LORD OF THE RINGS!!!!!!!

[PsYkOoOoO]

Nicole Kidman:Why?1 out of 8 nominations?this is unreal!this is not true!this is impossible!!

Elrond:This is not impossible,it is inevitable.Wait,wrong movie..

[RebelwithaCause]

:lol: Yeah, I found that funny as well, lol...and it was Renee, and she actually deserved it too...well, at least Mystic River just got 2...I was pleased with that. I like the movie, but again, its overhyped.

[Smeagol]

Yes! :applaud:

[Smeagol]

Did anyone else hear the dig from the people of Mystic River? They said "the ONLY special effect in their movie was that from a human emotion" :mad: An obvious dig at ROTK. :mad:

[PsYkOoOoO]

what do u mean the people of mystic river?

[Smeagol]

Originally posted by PsYkOoOoO

I read on another forum that some guys from Mystic River were reading out some nominations for a category and had a dig at ROTK. I saw the quote on the TORn message boards.

[adt100]

Just woke up and saw the news on the TV, and all I can say is -

WOOHOOO! Go Return of the King! :applaud:

4 nominations, 4 awards, what do all the naysayers say now!?

Oscars here we come :D

[PsYkOoOoO]

bloody hell....they are just jealous...hahahha

[ILOVEKATIE]

wow, so awesome..the film/films are finally getting the recognition they deserve.
After this, I just don't see how another film can beat LOTR at the Oscars, I just can't wait for that historic moment, its going to be the first time in Oscar history that a fantasy film wins best pic not to mention from the third film in a trilogy!
I loved seeing Peter Jackson receive his award for Best Director, he's always so generous and humble, I love the fact that he always acknowledges his fellow nominees, not everyone does that.
Can't wait for Oscar night, in true Bilbo words "It will be a night to remember".

[Smeagol]

It's nice to see all my fellow Europeans waking up to the good news! ;)

[The Moose]

i'm with ya there ILOVEKATIE. you're right about PJ, a very humble person

[Smeagol]

.

[PsYkOoOoO]

yea...heard that he never screamed or got pissed on set before...ever....

Originally posted by PsYkOoOoO

You can just tell that its true, I know I don't know him but you can see it in the person. I hope he stays like that.

[PsYkOoOoO]

yea and not become really arrogant and...you know...

[ILOVEKATIE]

yeah, lol

[PsYkOoOoO]

which director in hollywood is like that anyway?

[ILOVEKATIE]

Many, I know James Cameron has a temper, but he's such a great director though.:D

[PsYkOoOoO]

really?i didnt know..hahahaaa

[The Moose]

i didn't know that either

[PsYkOoOoO]

Spielberg seems like a nice guy as well..

whereas ridley scott seems like a pain in the butt

[ILOVEKATIE]

Oh man, I just remember when LOTR won Best Pic and Peter was accepting the award he said something to the guy from Miramax and the company itself who where there representing Cold Mountain ofcourse, Peter said something like thank you for starting it or for giving the rights to make the films or something to that effect, anyway they didn't look to happy. HA!

[The Moose]

bet they weren't too happy at all

[adt100]

Hopefully I'll get to see that on something like Liquid News on BBC3 tonight in th UK. Sounds classic. :D

[PsYkOoOoO]

thanks moose..u took the 70000th post..haha

[The Moose]

what? i saw the thing at 7000, and then i posted. my name wasn't there when i hit submit

[PsYkOoOoO]

really?i saw yr name beside 70000...but its ok..:D

[ILOVEKATIE]

Congratulations, wow, we are at 70,000, thats a lot.:)

[The Moose]

i know, it is a lot. and 20000+ of those have come in th last 60 or so days

[darthspielberg]

That just made my morning. They won all four! YEA!!!!!!!!!!

anyway, i know one other pain in the butt director - STanley Kubrick. He was a strickt one, runied the marriage of Tom Cruise and Nikki Kidman! ;)

[moviegeek]

That just made my day. lotr winning.

[PsYkOoOoO]

Yep, caught that, and it pissed me off too. :mad: :mad: :mad:

talk about sour grapes. in every interview I saw Clint give, he'd make that same point, but in different words. He'd like to say that it was an "actors" movie, not relying on "special effects" to move the story. An "actors" movie... WTF does he think the cast of LOTR were??? cgi?? I'd always liked him in the past, but this is just too much. I realize that the industry they are in is very competitive, but he's been recognized for his work, he's received his props, *how* can he begrudge Pete his moment of triumph???? Why??? They were comments totally beneath him, and I don't think I'll ever be able to look at his work in quite the same way.

Did anyone catch the fact that when Tim Robbins went up for his award, they were playing LOTR music??? Even my 10 yr said, "i know that music... he wasn't in that movie!"


Kerry =)

[flukeman]

Kerry, I agree completely!!

I know, I loved Dom's reaction, it was so sweet :)

[Kerry from Cali]

He was so damn adorable :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

He got choked up when Pete won Best Director, and again when they were on stage. I love the massive hug Elijah gave him. Just a big ol' bear hug.

I got pissed at that to. But it got shoved right back in there faces when ROTK was announced the winner of BP.

[Glordreen]

Wait a great moment the Globes were for the LOTR cast and crew, it was awesome. But we have yet to reach the grand daddy of them all, the Oscars. We shall dominate there also!

[Glordreen]

REMINDER: Oscar nominations announced tomorrow morning.

Yes, wasn't that when Susan Sarandon introduced it?

I thought I noticed another dig too.....
When Al Pacino accepted his award he said, "at least I am not out of breath." (or something like that) I thought that was a dig at PJ who was up there right before him and did seem out of breath when he got on stage. I don't know, maybe it was just me. What do you think? Is all of Hollywood against ROTK? Yes the special effects were awesome, but that is not what made the movie. If the acting hadn't been so incredible it never would have went over so well. Maybe they are just jealous that none of the regular Hollywood types were in it. :D

[The_Manipulator]

*cries*
YES! YES! YES! YES!
I'm so glad! PJ deserved it SO ****ing much!!!

*cries even more*
I didn't see it! Does any of you, know a website with the whole show? Or does any of you have it on your computer then? TELL ME!!!

[FinlandCat]

Tomorrow we can finally find out, how many Oscar-nominations will they give to Return of the king. I can´t wait to see;). I hope that Sean Astin will get a nominee. I also hope that Andy Serkis will get a nominee, but im just dreaming -that will not never happen:(.

I don't think that was a dig at PJ. But I did notice the Mystic River dig. But who cares!? It won all the awards it was nominated for and I couldn't be happier. Oh wait! I will be! When it wins all the awards that its nominated for at the Academy Awards!

[evenstar]

Great news, what makes it all worth while is that PJ is just obviously such a good guy. The reactions of both cast and crew were great and really shows how much they valued and deserved it imo. :)
Wait for oscars nearly up...

[Necross]

I didn't see Dom cry! Good thing to or else I might have. I prolly missed it because I was to busy jumping all over the place screaming, "IT WON THEM ALL! IT WON THEM ALL!"

[FinlandCat]

Necross; :D

[The Moose]

i'm still happy about it. it lead the NZ news, and was the big article on the front of every NZ newspaper, i think

[The_Manipulator]

Heh heh...yeah, wish it would be here in Denmark. But all they care about is how George Bush ass look like....:|

[moviegeek]

are there any pictures of them winning around the net somewhere?

[feanor]

It is hollywood vs ROTK, all bseem to look down on ROTK. Did you see the face of Clint eastwood, or even worse Nicole Kidman rolling her eyes....

[The Moose]

everybody laugh (except at Renee!)

[LordofKings]

Does anyone think that any actors for ROTK will be nominated. I mean, how can sean astin not get a nom. Soon after the release, predictions were that he was a sure thing to get a supporting nomination. What is the latest on this?

Also, ROTK is going to sweep the Oscars, i can feel it. It swept the Globes, and its momentum is too high. I knew there was no way they wouldn't give PJ the BD. It can't lose BP or BD at the Oscars, not after winning at the Globes. Am i right?

[The Moose]

i think that sean astin will probably get nominated. overall, i'm guessing somewhere aroung 12 nominations, and hopefully sweeping all the categories it's nominated for. there is still the possibility that ROTK may not get BP or BD. the GGs are a general indication only. 6 of the last 10 winners of BD at the GGs won BD at the oscars, and 5 of 10 GG BP winners won BP at the oscars

[Glordreen]

I think Astin will get nomed, but right now its iffy. I think he will get in.

Thanks for those staticists, Moose. I forgot to ask for them. Was there a best supporting catagory at the GG last night?

[The Moose]

i think those stats are correct, i read them this morning in the paper. yes, there was a category for best performance by an actor in a supporting rold (drama) but i can't remember who won it. all i know is that Sean wasn't nominated

[darthspielberg]

Yeah, but no Sean nom.

[LordofKings]

After his performance, its a true shame he isn't getting more attentuion and respect.

[UnicornBlood3]

That is true! He was fantastic! Hopefully he will be nominated for an Oscar!

[The Moose]

i hope that he will be nominated too

There is no may not. ROTK is winning. It does not only have the GG it has the PGA, NYFCC, BFCA, and hoardes of BP and BD wins at the Crtics awards. ROTK is sweeping!

[Glordreen]

And it is the favorite to win the DGA, SAG, and BAFTA.

i know that ROTK is sweeping, but the future is not certain. for all we know, an asteroid may collide with the earth in a week, and everyone will be killed. that is a little extreme, but if the ceremony does take place, ROTK has to win

[Glordreen]

Check out this site, its pretty cool. It has all the awards/noms that the LOTR movies have won.

http://www.geocities.com/cutterslade2000/index.html

[The Moose]

hmm. there's a LOT of awards there

[FinlandCat]

How many hours until the Oscar-nominees are released?

I don´t have a clue -because i live here..

[The Moose]

they're announced at 5:30 am tuesday morning. i think that's LA time. i think it's about 6 pm monday night there now, so about 11 hours, 30 mins away

[LordofKings]

I just read an article over at theonering.net, from Roger Ebert, and he thinks that either Viggo Mortinson, Astin or Gollum have a chance to get a nom for sup. actor. He also says the ROTK will most likely win.

I think Gollum had a bigger and better played role in TTT, just IMO, and should have been nom last year, and that Astin deserves that nom more then any other actors

[The Moose]

well, if Viggo gets nominated, i wouldn't be surprised if he turns it down, as he's already said he may, as he doesn't really like all the public mumbo jumbo of awards and things like that. i would like to see Andy Serkis get some recognition for the work that he did, and sean has to get nominated. he was awesome

[FinlandCat]

I will be sad, if they dont give any nom for actors.. I think that Sean Astin did a amazing job, like everyone else too.

i want the same for andy for his work as gollum. he does deserve this, but astin was too great not to get a nod.

[big_boy_01]

I LOVES IT, WE LOVES IT
SMEAGOL WILL HAVES IT, ITS OURS
YES
YES ITS OURS
OUR OWN AWARD OH MY ITS OURS
ITS MY BIRTHDAYS

[The Moose]

to tell the truth, a special award for achievement in acting, or something of the like wouldn't be totally out of the question for serkis, as gollum is the first totally CG character done from motion capture

[FinlandCat]

Moose; thats true:). And anyway, Walt Disney did get one big Oscar and seven little ones.(Snow White)
Why dont Serkis get a Gollum-Oscar?;) :cool:

[The Moose]

cool. i didn't know that FinlandCat. that would be cool, but would require a bit of co-operation from WETA though

[FinlandCat]

I remember, i have seen a taped moment, where Shirley Temple did gave the awards to Walt. It was grate.

[The Moose]

i've seen part of that. but i only saw him get the big award, damnit

[FinlandCat]

I can´t sleep before i find out who will get a Oscar nominee..:D.

[The Moose]

what time is it there in finland at the moment?

[FinlandCat]

4:40 AM, I haven´n sleep at night :rolleyes:

[Kerry from Cali]

The one thing I really liked (besides ROTK kicking all sorts of butt :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: ) is that there was no other real "stand out" movie. Cold Mountain got something, Mystic River got something, Lost in Translation got something, and Monster picked up one. It was nicely spread out. To me, that means less of a clear shot competition. ROTK should dominate come tomorrow morning.


And if the Academy isn't full of doddering old fools, with their own political agenda, then yes, Sean Astin should not only get the nod, but the hardware to back it up.

(did you know he had to audition for the next Leonardo DiCaprio movie, The Aviator (based on Howard Hughes) and he didn't get the part?) That sucks.


Kerry =)

[The Moose]

it may be a challenge for you to stay awake for the next 10 hours and 40 mins then

[FinlandCat]

Moose; It´s not even a challenge for me:D! Once i did stay awake three days.In Catshow, because i was so busy:D.

I´m so nut, that i will do anything for cats or movies..:rolleyes:

[The Moose]

that's pretty impressive finlandcat. a lot better than my 26 hours

[FinlandCat]

Try Red bull and coffee:D

[UnicornBlood3]

I could never stay up for 10 hours for a movie...

[The Moose]

i understand with red bull, but i can't drink coffee. it's heinous

[FinlandCat]

I drink coffee only if i have to.But i like cocoa more.

[UnicornBlood3]

I have to agree coffee is really gross!

[The Moose]

i'd only drink coffee if my life depended upon it

[FinlandCat]

And anyway, 10 hours isn´t so much. Maybe i will watch Lotr and eat popcorn:D.

[FinlandCat]

Moose: You really hate coffee:D.

[Rizor]

Oscar noms will be announced in a little over 10 hours. I'll be continuing my tradition of setting the timer for the nominations broadcast since I'll be out. I find it much more dramatic to watch the whole show rather than reading a list.
