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.

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."

Okay, Theoden and Eowyn made me tear up.
Thanks. . .
thanks alot.
(It's like the clips are there to make the Academy look foolish for not nominating any of the ACTORS.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

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).

Also, when I clicked on that CNN link, there was a Quick Poll on the same page asking which Best Picture nominee people would vote for if they had a vote.
RotK is winning by 79%. (No surprise, really. I'm sure every LOTR fan site in the universe is linking to that interview, and everyone who stops by has to vote for LOTR.)
