I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".  

Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

Ganked from ToRn.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy became the most nominated film series in Academy Award history with 30 nominations, surpassing both the Godfather trilogy (28) and the Star Wars franchise (21).

Jackson said he had just finished editing the Extended Edition of RotK and that it was 4 hours and 10 minutes

RotK snippets. Go. Get your sap on.

Oh, and rewatching the end of the coronation scene, I'm remembering a post I saw on LiveJournal, in which someone said that she wants to make an icon of the four hobbit actors, standing on stage at the Oscars after RoTK wins best picture, with the caption "You bow to no one."

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Okay, Theoden and Eowyn made me tear up.

Thanks. . .

(It's like the clips are there to make the Academy look foolish for not nominating any of the ACTORS.)

I do think that there are individual actors in the case who are well deserving of a nomination, but more than any one person's performance, what stands out to me is the way they worked as an ensemble.

There should be an Oscar for Best Ensemble and/or Casting Direction.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Yay! The snippets include Gandalf's speech on death! One of my favorites, and one that will probably show up on the Oscars as one of the featured clips (although I wouldn't mind it if they showed Pippen's song as RotK's Best Picture clip).
