    Another damned award show. Is there one EVERY weekend now? How often do these people need to congradulate themselves anyway?

    No, but I was just waiting for Elrond to say "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson."

    Not that this is necessarily of much significance, but it should be noted that CNN is owned by AOL Time Warner, and New Line (The studio that released "Lord Of The Rings") is a Warner Brothers-owned property. It might explain CNN's "hype" over "Lord Of The Rings" winning three awards, though I don't quite notice it myself in the article...
