How come Anne Lennox doesnt get to sing ;)

[adt100]

How on earth did those 2 Cold Mountain songs get nominated!? They were so dull and uninspiring. For that matter, how can 2 'theme' songs from 1 film be nominated?

Annie Lennox is performing now! :applaud:

[Smeagol]

Anyone else noticed how Sean Penn has disappeared for all the categories which don't involve his own movie? :rolleyes:

[Smeagol]

Best Director is up about half way through, isn't it?

[UnicornBlood3]

Whoa I hear LOTR music..

Yah! Great song!

[Brock Landers]

Lennox is performing right now....:cool:

I have never been very impressed with the live version of Into The West...

[adt100]

I *think* BD is 1 of the later awards Smeagol, only 1 or 2 before BP. (I could be wrong though).

[Brock Landers]

Meh, I like the song. It's good. I didn't like the song from FOTR though(Enya's song)....

[Cbars]

I think the song is alright, but I think Annie Lennox is freaky looking. Hello everyone, by the way.

[Kerry from Cali]

Annie just sang Into the West....

wow...

she got a great reception from the audience, they really clapped loud.

:)

[UnicornBlood3]

Hopefully she will win :)

[Kerry from Cali]

best pic and best director come at the very end.

hi cbars
she reminds me a little of Susan Powter (she was a fitness guru in the late 90's)


the song sounded good though. it blows the others out of the water, i think. :)

[Smeagol]

Best SFX are up next...

Can ROTK complete the hat-trick?

Hi Kerry....I have always liked her music, but I think she could do with a make over BIG time.

go rotk!!!:applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

[Smeagol]

The claps are getting quieter for ROTK... :p Maybe they're all getting bored! :eek:

[Brock Landers]

Daaaaaaamn, this IS the night for the Rings. But why do I fear that they're giving King all the awards just to soften the blow of the final 2......? :(

It's all paranoid thinking, really.

[UnicornBlood3]

:applaud:

On a roll!

[Smeagol]

What an amazing SFX hat-trick for WETA! :applaud: Such an undoubtedly talented bunch of "pixel-pushers". I just guess they were drunk when they did Gollum falling in the lava. ;)

I won't be watching the Big 2 awards live. I just can't. I could just about live with ROTK losing Best Picture but if PJ lost Best Director to that corpse, Clint Eastwood, I don't think I would ever recover.

[adt100]

I think I could cope with PJ losing BD, despite this on balance being a slightly more deserving award.

Best Picture though is the BIG award that everyone remembers.

[adt100]

Honorary Award

Blake Edwards

[Cbars]

OK, I missed that part....went to take the cookies out of the oven....why was that guy all dirty?

[Smeagol]

ROTK still has 8 more categories left in which to gather 2 wins to make it the most celebrated chapter in the trilogy (beating FOTR's 4 wins). However, there's no hope of ROTK winning in editing or adapted screenplay so I think there are 6 realistic categories left for us to mull over. :)

[adt100]

They had a comedy sketch type moment where he flew across the stage in a motorised wheelchair (with leg in pot) and crashed through a fake wall on the other side. :applaud:

[adt100]

Perhaps unlikely, though it did win the Adapted Screenplay BAFTA.

[Smeagol]

There's a lot of love for Sofia Coppola in that theatre.

You don't think...?

[adt100]

Best Make-Up

Richard Taylor, Peter King, THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING

[Brock Landers]

New award being announced....another ROTK Win?

I think it's Makeup.

[UnicornBlood3]

Another win! Awesome! :applaud:

Anyone seen Jedi yet?

[Boiiinng]

4 out of 4......

[adt100]

Why so surprised Smeagol, ROTK certainly deserved Make-Up against the other 2 films!

Like I said, AMPAS voters won't have remembered what they voted for in previous years (ie FOTR's win).

[adt100]

Sound Mixing

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING

[Brock Landers]

5 FOR 5!!!

[UnicornBlood3]

YAH! :grin:

5 out of 5, only 6 more to go. :applaud:

(I really love the Academy's 'tick all the boxes' policy :D )

[Glordreen]

The sweep is on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Brock Landers]

I think it may happen! :)

[Boiiinng]

I know why they are getting these, but in all seriousness, the sounds during the races in Seabiscuit outdo LOTR. I love LOTR, but the sounds were never my favorite part.

[adt100]

Winner of Sound Mixing, but no nomination for Sound Editing, with only 3 nominees! :rolleyes:

Something like I dont think there is anyone left in NZ to thank

[Kerry from Cali]

this is *so* exciting.


Brock~ the person sitting next to liv, (i missed her in the audience)

I hate it when presenters and such have to resort to such snide remarks. It doesn't look good at all.

Nice to see both Bob Hope and Katherine Hepurn receiving their own tributes though, separate from the main roll call. :)

humor??? familiar with the concept???:rolleyes:

(for those that aren't watching it now, all billy said was, (something close ~ ok, it's official, there aren't any people left in NZ to thank)

people laughed. it wasn't a slam, it was a way of acknowledging that ROTK is kicking ass and taking names....

I knew it was an attempt at humour; I just didn't appreciate it.

[adt100]

BTW Smeagol, I agree on your earlier comments about the 'comedians' on BBC1's programme.

Alistair Mgowan in particular. Not because he doesn't like LOTR, but because he's criticising it left right and centre, yet only sat through the first hour of FOTR, and only the first part of ROTK because he 'couldn't understand any of it'. What do you expect if you don't watch the first 2 in full! :rolleyes:

The BBC are always trying to make a joke of everything! Admittedly, there are probably only a few thousand viewers watching the show, but those of us that are are big film fans, not some posse of drunken youths wanting a good laugh.

How many other TV stations would employ 3 people whom know nothing or very little about movies to provide 'expert commentary' on the Oscar night?

[adt100]

Best Documentary Feature

THE FOG OF WAR

[adt100]

A tribute to Gregory Peck concludes the tribute sections to past performers.

[adt100]

Crikey, not even does Alistair Mgowan hate LOTR and find it long and 'boring', but he loves Titanic! :rolleyes:

[Smeagol]

Score and Editing are next up.

I'm afraid this is where the run will end!

I'm not bothered at all about losing these categories. We've won them before, and obviously we were never going to keep the 100% record up until the end of the night.

Congrats to the eventual winners!

[UnicornBlood3]

There is still hope :D

[Smeagol]

Does the orchestra know who won the wards beforehand?

[adt100]

OMG! Editing was 1 of the awards I though ROTK least likely to win! (it's that 'tick all the boxes' atitude again ;) )

[eclipsedman]

7 for 7! I hope it doesn't get snubbed for BP

[Boiiinng]

they really don't deserve editing for ROTK, they are getting this for the whole trilogy

[Cbars]

Wow, that one surprises me.

[Glordreen]

7 for freaking 7!!!!!!!!! What I tell you guys!! The sweep is in effect!!!!!

[UnicornBlood3]

haha Billy did it again :)

[Smeagol]

I feel like such a muppet. But it WON'T win Adapted screenplay, whatever happens. Nor does it deserve to, IMO.

[Kerry from Cali]

billy did another NZ joke.

i thought it was funny


he said, you know, people are now *moving* to NZ to be thanked.

:)

[UnicornBlood3]

So many negative people in here tonight..

[adt100]

Hey, good to see you pop by Glordreen. You'll see we're keeping your thread in good order. :)

It won the BAFTA, and I have far more respect for their voters than the Academy in general, so why not win the Oscar.

I think that as we (optimists ;) ) have been predicting/hoping for the last 3 years, tonight is as much about honouring the whole LOTR achievement as anything, and it is totally deserving IMO.

Something so unique and stunning has been created over the course of 3 films, that to not win these awards would be a disgrace.

Look at it like this, Titanic scooped the Oscars will 11 wins, so why not LOTR. I can't imaging many people at all thinking Titanic was anywhere near as good as LOTR!

[Smeagol]

I hope you're right, adt100, but I fear that ROTK will only win the first 9 if it is going to be snubbed in the big two categories. :(

[jjyj88]

Hey everyone, We're doing AWSOME :D :D

[Kerry from Cali]

ok, this song about the triplet from belville???

nope. the only real competition, IMHO, is the one with sting, my ain true love (something like that)

these rest?? nope not close to as good.

[UnicornBlood3]

JJ! :)

I hope that doesnt happen Smeagol!

[adt100]

Look, after following the Oscars for quite a few years now, I can almost GUARANTEE that ROTK won't get snubbed in both of the big 2 awards (Bes tPicture and Best Director).

That's what I've been saying with the 'tick all the boxes' atitude of the Academy. They often pick their best pic, then for many of the technical awards (which many won't know much about) will simply go with their favourite film. :)

That's why you often get 1 dominant film at the Oscars in this way.

[jjyj88]

Hey Unicorn, Kerry & all the rest, Tonight is a Great night Indeed :D

[UnicornBlood3]

I like adt's view much better :)

Wouldn't it be awful if Phillipa 'Elves at Helms Deep' Boyens let the camp down? :(

[Lance]

I think ADT's got it nailed. The big 2 are going to ROTK. We might not get the other, but I would not bet strong against it either.

[Krys D]

Great now everyone will be singing "Your boring" when the band starts :)

[adt100]

If only we'd been nominated for Cinematography too. You could have bet the Academy would have tick that box as well!

(and then it could, just could, have beaten the all time Oscar record of Titanic/Ben Hur).

[Kerry from Cali]

I don't think so at all! It was not a page for page adaptation, a la Harry Potter, but that doesn't have to be the case with the adapted screenplay award.

Bringing such a huge, daunting and previously 'ufilmable' book to the cinema in 3 epic films is no mean feat!

Having said that, I wouldn't mind to much if ROTK didn't win this one (although it would be a shame to not have the chance to at least tie with Titanic/ben Hur).

If only those twits had nominated ROTK for Cinemtography! :D

11 out of 11! A clean sweep of all the awards in which the film was nominated.

ROTK now holds the accolade of winning the most Academy Awards of 11 with Ben Hur and Titanic.

Quite an incredible achievement after 7 years of work from the LOTR cast and crew, and I can say it has been a real honour to follow these films for the past 3 years, and be here to witness history tonight. :)

[Andrey83]

it sure did deserve it! NO doubt! :)

Accually it was not the first sequel. Godfather 2 won best picture. That was the first sequel to win.
IMO ROTK is not a sequel since they filmed all three films at once.
