Andrew writes: The Astor Theatre in Melbourne will be screening TTT on Thurs. & Fri Jan. 8&9, followed by ROTK on Friday January 23rd with a starting time of 7:30Pm for both films. It will be screened on the Superscreen which is pretty massive in DTS Digital sound. Astor is at 1 Chapel Street Prahran, Melbourne and is a beautiful art deco film palace dating back to the 1930’s (state of the art screening technology though!!!). [astor-thatre.com]

Salvia writes: While it’s not official and the editor insists it has nothing to do with likely Ocsar voting, this variety.com poll has a number of RotK participants well in the game for “Best of” with PJ and the RotK dominating in their categories. Most happily to my eyes is the Supporting Actor category. How nice to finally acknowledge a second actor (after Sir Ian in FotR) in an excellent 20+ person ensemble. [More]
