Some of us in LA for the TORn party were thrilled beyond words to stumble upon the unheralded WORLD PREMIERE of Hidalgo tonight at the El Capitan theater on Hollywood Blvd. We stood out in the rain for about an hour to watch Viggo make a sensational entrance, riding Hidalgo (TJ) down the red carpet!!
Viggo looked fabulous in his black tux, light blue tie, no hat. Hopefully I’ll have some pics when I get home.
They were giving out brown Hidalgo hats to all the lucky guests invited to the premiere. John Rhys Davies attended and very kindly stopped to say hello to the fans.
When I was walking back to my hotel, only a block away, I took a shortcut through the Kodak theater only to run face-to-face into Elijah Wood!
What a night!

I found this page from the BBC (after remembering seeing them there last night) that has a video about ROTK Oscar events with several mentions of the One Party. [More]
From Jonathan (and many other Spies!): You are probably aware that Scott Kurtz did a comic regarding Return of the King’s nomination for Best Picture way back on December 27th. He made reference to it on March 1st in reaction to its landslide victory Sunday night. For background, here’s the original “nerd riots of 2004” strip: [Original] And the follow-up: [Follow Up]
