franchise win altogether?
I forgot. How many awrds and nominations did this

[b]The
Star Swordsman[/b] - It won eleven Acadamy Awards in one night. Absolutely incredible. All of the
production crew and actors had to keep getting up to receive their awards. ![]()
I can remember that
dominating night. BUt what about the entire franchise? All three movies?
[size=92]That’s Lothlorien - my favourite LOTR place. ![]()
[/size]
The Star Swordsman - Mmm…the entire franchise? To tell
you the truth, I’m not really sure.
Pixel Candy - Yeah, that’s the name of
the place – heheh. I used to be an ubber-Lord of the Rings geek…and now I hardly
remember anything. Thanks for correcting me! ![]()
Mitch: It would be hard to
count would’nt it? They were so dominating in the Academy Awards all three nights right?
I think my favorite location is Mordor…some of those scences were just so
wicked! Especially that tower place!(the name escapes me – I’ve forgotten this
stuff) ![]()
Anybody read the books? There was this Tom Bombadil guy, he was kinda magical…his house was
pretty cool! ![]()
[b]The Star
Swordsman[/b] Yeah, it is kinda hard to count it all. If you want to know how many awards all three
films won in total…you’ll probably have to look it up on the
internet…
Gasduude - Unless I’m much mistaken, I think the name of the
“tower place” is Minas Morgul, but I’ve forgotten alot of stuff too so…forgive me if I got that
wrong. ![]()
As for Tom Bombadil: he is one of my favorite characters in the book! Too bad they didn’t show
him in the movie…
I am not talking about
total. BUt Just for the Academy Awards cause that was one of their biggest dominating nights.
Ahh, yes…Minas Morgul. The “good guy”
tower, Minas Tirith, was also pretty cool! ![]()
Yeah, I have a friend that’s the same way! Tolkein wrote a
whole book (The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, I believe) about him, so that’s pretty
neat. I haven’t read it yet, but I will sometime! ![]()
I can’t believe nobody has mentioned Christopher Lee as Saruman. He did a great job with this character. He’ll be 85 on May 27. I tell ya, we are extremely lucky to have him still with us. He has such a great body of work, including Count Dooku in the recent Star Wars films. Did you guys know that he has never been nominated for an Academy Award? Give the guy an Honorary Oscar for god’s sake. He deserves it!!!
Okay, time to get back on topic. ![]()
who was your favorite actor in the movie?
I really wouldn’t know the answer to this, but i only know one actor in the LOTR trillogy. That is Sir ian McKellen. He is so cool and he is such a good actor.
Yeah, Ian McKellen was great in his performance as Gandalf. I vote for either Andy Serkis as Gollum/Smeagol or Christopher Lee as Saruman.
Oh gosh, sorry I’m so late in replying…
Haha – the “good guy” tower. Heheh. ![]()
Aha – cool! He wrtoe a whole book on Tom Bombadil? I have to read that! Thanks for tellin’ me. ![]()
Bill - My favorite actor would definitely have to be Billy Boyd. He reminds me of me. ![]()
