illyria Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 wow thanks! i didnt know it was up for so many BAFTAS!!! i love ian mckellan but i really do think sean astin deserves to get best supporting actor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilteus Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 OOh, thanks for all the lovely info Andy! Btw, no-one has started a BAFTA thread yet. I knew ROTK was up for 12 BAFTAs but didn't know what they were. I don't believe Cold Mountain got nominated for 13 though! Not that I've seen it, so I can't really judge. But do I really have to see it to know which is better?! Again no LOTR actor has been nominated for Best Actor. What a suprise. While on the subject of BAFTAs, did anyone go to last years? I didn't mean to, but I did. I was visiting my aunt in London and we went to a Chinese restaurant in one of the roads off Leicester Squrae. When we came out, there were huge crowds, barriers etc. and I asked a policewoman what the hell was going on (but not literally, obviously!). She said, "the BAFTAs are on in 20 minutes". My immediate thought was, "Ooh, LOTR actors!" So, I waited - couldn't get anywhere near the red carpet, but I managed to get on the barrier at the bit where the cars drive up to it. I saw Ian M, Sean B, Richard Taylor and Andy S. arrive. (Also got brill pic of Angelina Jolie - and, erm... Ruby Wax - haha) It was so cool! Hmm, I wonder which of the LOTR actors are gonna turn up this time? Can't wait to see it on TV! Kilteus xxxxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eogwyn Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 In this week's Heat magazine (no, I don't buy it, but someone at work does - honest ) there's a competiton to go to the BAFTA's. You have to text in with your nomination for fav film. Sorry can't remember the number - I'll let you know tomorrow when I'm back at work, unless anyone else has it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FluffyDoll Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I knew it had that many...heard it on the radio the other day. The only thing to win more nominations was Cold Mountain apparently.

RainbowDisney Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 Apparently all the hype and excitement in Hollywood at moment is that rumours are rife that the Academy WILL give PJ his rewards for the film and always planned to but only once the Trilogy had been released. Cant wait for Feb 29th !!! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoden_of_rohan Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 I was disgusted! Ian probably thinks Sean should get the nom above him too! I don't know about 'above' him, but he should have got one 'as well as' him. Ian Mckellen's performance is pretty much perfect - can't think of anyone who could have played Gandalf in such an amazing way. He reallly brought the character (probably the most well-loved one!) to life! But, I do agree - Sean should have been nominated, as should have Bernard Hill (amazing performance!!!) - in fact, the only nominations for the BAFTA's should have been from the LOTR's!
