Empire magazine was an early and ardent supporter of Lord of the Rings before it even came out. Now as far as I know we&#8217;re not in The Hobbit but they&#8217;re going to try and find a way, just for fun. I&#8217;m not necessarily against the idea. They may try to link that book to the book we were in. But I was looking at Tolkien&#8217;s version of the world. In order to do a prequel to The Lord of the Rings, I&#8217;d probably have to be changing Boromir&#8217;s diapers because I live longer or whatever. &#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You can see a video of the acceptance speech as well as read it on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.empireonline.com\/awards2009\/winners\/empire-icon.asp\" target=\"_blank\">Empire Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At this year&#8217;s Jameson Empire Awards, the winner of the &#8220;Empire Icon&#8221; award was kingly indeed.
