The Lord Of The Rings star has taken over from Jim Broadbent as the favourite to win Best Supporting Actor. Russell Crowe, Sissy Spacek and Jennifer Connelly remain the favourites to take the other acting awards.’ [More]

Many angry folks are writing in to say that they’ve just heard Roeper, of the ‘Ebert & Roeper’ movie critics show, say he “would like to see LOTR:FOTR get shut-out at the Oscars”, he claimed it was too long.
