I’m not sure if we should be offended or not. People magazine seems to think the Harry Potter trailer is better then the LOTR trailer. Hrm…So maybe we won’t be seeing a Star Wars vs LOTR attitude online, but instead a Harry Potter vs LOTR attitude. Interesting…very interesting….Thanks to Ringer fan Hob Gammidge for the scan:

Ok, so I have Oscar on my mind. While watching the show last night I was day dreaming about Oscar 2002 and I just had to post up my predictions as to what ‘Fellowship of the Rings’ will win next year. [More]

Ok, so I have Oscar on my mind. While watching the show last night I was day dreaming about Oscar 2002 and I just had to post up my predictions as to what ‘Fellowship of the Rings’ will win next year.
Now, despite ‘Titanic’ and ‘Gladiator’ this year I’ve always maintained that the Golden Boy tends to shy away from the huge Hollywood blockbuster films that FOTR will eventually be. That is why I have no ‘Best Actor…’ nominations, plus the fact that I’ve seen very little of the acting to date. But what I have seen is costumes, special effects, editing and all the other things I predict here. So, here it is, you can call me on it next year, but the Oscars will go to…

Costume Design: Ngila Dickson
Sound & Sound Editing: Mike Hopkins, Chris Ward

I took these shots early winter of last year…had to hike miles to get up around behind the set on the mountain behind the quarry.
I drove all over both the islands inquiring and collecting more info about the project. AWESOME STUFF!
