Well, I'm not surprised that Fellowship didn't win a Golden Globes award. I mean, it's not about prostitution, it's not about societal cast-offs [for the most part], it has no intravenous drug use, it actually tells a positive story, and doesn't celebrate gayness, gangness or "gun-ness" [okay, okay, that one was a stretch!].
It's a simple film about good and evil, and not deviant enough for the golden Globes. don't hold out any hopes for an Oscar, either. Moulin Rouge's totally non-creative costumes and set design will probably take those two, best actor/actress and best supporting actor/actress will go to other, non-deserving films, best director to a director with far less talent and dedication, and score to someone else as well. I had hoped there were a lot of Tolkien fans in the "Academy" voting flock, but I think my hopes are waning for any real recognition of this fine film. All we can do, like my fellow Mooters point out above, is wait in great anticipation for the Two Towers and Return of the King. Both those will be snubbed by the awards as well.

I think it was Wayfarer that missed something. Namely his medication
 Bro - Didn't you know LotR is a celebration of being gay? Sam and Frodo are well..... closet homosexuals. At least, that's what virtually every long film review has mentioned, despite Sam strutting his funky thang with Rosie at the start. Probably just a cover up operation so no-one suspects the raging queens. I'd like to think the chances of an Oscar isn't too slim. Anyone any idea of how closely the Oscar results follow the GG's? But it might occur to some that since they are a trilogy, they only need to dish out awards to the final part. Which certainly won't the be stupidest thing they think if they vote at all like the GGs. |

Presumably something along the lines of:
Schwiiiiing! Luthy-babes! How about it? You and me? Let's go girl! Which probably would THTILL work as a chat up line when thaid in elvith Note: Pleathe ekthcuthe the lithp, I'm practithing to thound like Liv Tyler'th Arwen when thee thpeakth elvith. |

Consider yourself lucky.
I've been on here ages and the closest I've come to being hit on is being trodden on by FrodoFriend  Just claim to be a 13 year old boy with an AOL account. That usually puts guys off! |

[Edited: removed quotes of Morgoth, other references to luthien's history, and speculation on the potency of elvish saliva.]
Anyway, my comments on luthien can be summed up as follows; 'I envy Beren... *drool!*'

Concerning the soundtrack award; I would like to point out that the judges didn't even bother to read what type of catigory they were judgeing. As I recall the catigory was supposed to have been for best origanal music and take it from someone who knows not only is Mulan Rouge a very badly botched remake of La Boheme but there is also not one single note of origanal music in the whole score. Yep! thats right they stole every single blessed song from someone else.
 However I do wonder wheather or not there is some rule that prevents a judge from voteing for a show that is too popular?  Quote:

Agreed about the lack of original music in Moulin Rouge. It makes no sense to me why they would give that award [original score] to such a rip-off of others' work. Oh well. Probably will get the same pass from the Oscar voters. Kinda makes one wonder if they had put Nicole Kidman in a garter belt and peekaboo nightie and used her as Galadriel, whether Lord of the Rings would have gotten Golden Globes left and right [okay, okay, I know there's a pun in there somewhere.....]
And you're right, Luthien... "...the potency of Elvish saliva..."??? Ewwwww!

Hmmm... Let's see Galadriel, Nicole Kidman, and the Golden Globes ... I'm beginning to have some thoughts...
Best to leave that alone.

Well didn't they approach Disney earlier and back out when Tom Cruise's name popped up?
Perhaps a Penelope Cruz as Arwen AND a Nicole Kidman Galadriel, that would make an explosive cast. No need for the balrog scene for flaming whips and swords. Gotta go to sleep...the medication's taking effect...

It wasn't that big of a deal that LOTR,didn't win anything,maybe if P.J. had stayed more true to the books,it might have panned out better for him.I still say huge mistake,making Arwen a main character,this attempt to attract female viewers,ruined the chances of a better story.I think Liv Tyler is hot,and find no fault in her acting,its just I think P.J. could have stayed with the book,during the "Flight to the ford"'and no one would have been upset,except Liv Tyler,and her agent.For those who think you have to have modern day gimmicks to win awards,(I mean that in movie style,not real life),needs to look no further than Braveheart,and Gladiator,both of these won best picture,and Gladiator,didnt have one ounce of sexual content.I really don't think P.J. can turn this into a Titanic type love story,no matter how hard he tries,hope TTT is done much closer to the books,it was my favorite.

It didn't deserve to win anything (except for special effects, and Ian Holm!), but then Pearl Harbour didn't deserve to win anything either! In fact, with the films being released at the moment it's a wonder they even bother to put on the Golden Globes!
