The One writes: Those of us unfortunate enough to be at The One Party had to resort to watching the TV coverage instead. I saw the UK BBC coverage with presenter Jonathon Ross. He had John Rhys-Davies (Gimli) on there to comment on the preceedings. From what I can remember, he said that next to TTT, Chicago was one of the best films he’d seen this year. I think he felt it was worthy of the Oscars it recieved. When asked about Lord of the Rings and the Oscars, he said that the general sentiment seems to be that, because LOTR is essentially one film in three parts, that “next year will be our year”.
