Oscars

[Aluscia]

Lord of the Rings won all 11 awards it was nominated for last night, tying it for most awards won at one ceremony with Ben-Hur and Titanic.

Hotties of the show included: Uma Thurman (yum), Nicole Kidman (always hot), Johnny Depp (ultra-yum), Angelina Jolie (so good), and Charlize Theron (very nice)

Fuglies of the show included: Liv Tyler (What was with that look... Lisa Loeb glasses and sculpted stairs for a hairdo? man...), Dianne Keaton (She looked like she was going to a funeral... maybe her own?), and Renee Zellweger's dress (a white cape? ghey)

Honerable mention totally goes to Annie Lennox, who not only successfully concealed her age , but managed to look amazing, and took home her first oscar of her long career.

[Gambit]

Ya, I thought Annie was remarkably well-preserved. :) Did you know she's FIFTY this year?

[Aluscia]

Yes. That was the amazing thing, she looks 30, maybe.

NIce thanks for the recap. I stopped watching award shows a while back but still interested in seeing who won and what everyone was wearing.

Ann Lennox is 50? Dang she looks good :).

The suit for Keaton, no no that was just wrong and the hat didnt help it at all.

go LoTR!!

[Stang]

Hey Rogue so are they going to wait til Nov. to release the last movie like they did with the others? That would suck!!

[Maz]

I was wondering the same thing

[XRogue]

I think they will be releasing the theatrical version in May, rather than August as before. That means that the extended version will come out sooner-duh, since they won't need to do it in November to drum up interest for the release of another LOTR movie this time. But I have no word as to when the EE will be definitely coming out, tho when I do hear, I will be sure to tell ya'll pronto!

[Stang]

Cool thanks :D

And yes let me know right when ya find out as I will if I hear anything :D.

[Maz]

thanks for the heads up Rogue, let us know once it;s released

[Stang]

I wanna know when its going to be released not when it is already out :P.

[XRogue]

I'll tell ya before, not after. You know I'll have the info. :D

[Stang]

Oh I forgot to tell ya I got the LOTR books for xmas. Got to get my other books done before I start on them though. Too many books to catch up on!!!

[XRogue]

Coolness. :)

Incidentally, the theatrical version comes out May 25th.

[Stang]

Ahhh we are gettin closer then to the Extended one then :), cant be too far behind that.

[Maz]

Let's hope, I can't wait to see the extended and finish my collection :)

[Stang]

:yup:
