The MTV Movie Awards are on MTV — tonight! For some of you on America’s East Coast, they’re on right now. For the rest of us, they’re on at 9 PM. Enjoy!
Update: To all the folks who have emailed about that troublemaker Dominic Monaghan’s last statement (“There will be another [movie] next year!”) — guys, sadly, he was joking.

Galadriel/Nerwen Artanis: Ring-bearer and the Lady of the Golden Wood :
Raised in Valinor as Galadriel, one of the Noldor’s highest, wisest and most powerful children, she leaves the Blessed Realm to seek a kingdom of her own.
Noble and proud, the motivations behind her actions are complicated and mysterious — Tolkien himself never settled on a single, definitive version of her story.
Why did she leave Valinor? What was her role in the kinslaying? What was her true role and purpose in Middle Earth? How important was her relationship to Celebrimbor?
How important was she in the unfolding of Middle Earth’s history and significant events?
And why was she so sympathetic to Gimli?
Join us this weekend in #thehalloffire as we discuss one of Tolkien’s most bewitching characters.
