Without Saruman?! That really surprises me.

Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

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.

The new Entertainment Weekly mag makes a good point--when was the last time you heard a Best Picture producer actually thank the fans during his acceptance speech?
Also, the end of the Oscar wrap-up article was sweet:
Just after 2:30 a.m., when the cameras were shut down, the revelers tucked into bed,the street empty, an the town unwinding, Jackson and Walsh finally headed home, six Oscars richer, seven years of work vindicated quite goldenly, thank you. "Is it over?" Walsh asked her partner as they stepped toward their limo. "Yes, it's over," replied Jackson. "It's over."

I can't even.
The blue medallion Peter was wearing at the Oscars was from Onering.net and says "Good Luck" on it. People magazine has a closeup of it. Yay, Peter, for supporting the fans.
That's just ... lovely. I'm stuck for words at how cool a gesture that is.

Plus the entire Companionship went to the Onering party before heading over to the New Line bash. Apparently they didn't get to New Line until nearly everyone had gone home.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
the entire Companionship
Just the ones that went to the Oscars, right?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
My admiration for PJ continues to grow by leaps and bounds.
The more I hear about the people who worked on LotR, the more it sounds to me like the project really became a big-ass fan project. Even though Liv Tyler annoys me, it was still neat to hear how enthusiastic she was about speaking Elvish. People were encouraged to let their geekiness run wild.

Were the stunties at the Oscars? Because they were at the TORN party.

Well, the available Companionship, true. I wonder how pissed the New Line people can get, though, with the money still rolling in, especially from those fans whose party PJ went to first.

Hey -- they got to the New Line party eventually!

Here's a good pic of the oscar pins, if you haven't seen one up close, like I hadn't:
