Yoda, Gollum Take MTV Awards

zoobaby writes "MTV has given the LoTR franchise credit for spectactular work with Gollum. After being snubbed by the Academy Awards, it is nice to see recognition given to one of the most expressive and best acted roles in recent films."

It's myy precioussss, it is... Nasty Yoda can't haves it, Noooo....

No SPOILER WARNING!?!?

[Phosphor3k]

Some of us might have actually enjoyed watching the goddamn awards without knowing who wins beforehand. The show isnt even aired til June 5th. Once again Slashdot Editors, thank you for spoiling another (Circle one: TV Show, Movie, Game Ending).

Bit of advice. Next time use AC to post that you wanted to watch the MTV awards.

besides..

Eminem got awarded for best male role and said: "I can't believe I beat Mariah for 'Glitter'".

While I can't believe it either it still puzzles me.

WTF?

First the Aimee Deep Story and now this MTV story...if this turns into a Teeny Bopper website, I am so out of here...

I'm afraid if Yoda is passed over. . .

[Limburgher]

No, there is another...

Strange thing it is!

Yoda appeared on a giant screen to accept the honor and spoke in his signature circuitous manner.

"Hmmm ... grateful am I to this award receive. To win, I did not expect," he said. "Promise myself cry I would not."

He went on to thank supporters ranging from "Star Wars" creator George Lucas to Wookie Chewbacca, Vin Diesel, space monster Greedo and actor Steve Guttenberg.

He didn't expect it? Boy, that rendering farm and the voice actors sure must work in a hurry to produce a rendered imagine complete with voice acting in such a hurry! You'd almost think this is a huge show, a spectacle aimed at enriching those with the largest marketing/SFX budget! Almost like the gollum thing further on in the article:

Then, the emaciated Gollum clamored over to snatch the trophy from Serkis' hands.

"You're a liar and a thief," Gollum hissed. "It's mine!"

Gollum went on to deliver an expletive-filled tirade against the filmmakers, actors, MTV and audience, while Serkis stood by looking embarrassed.

Come on people, we're talking about the MTV awards here, brought to us by MTV; the epitomy of modern pop and hype culture. We're talking about something hosted by a TV station aimed at 14 year old girls who faint at the sight of $current_hip_boyband and wish to be like $cheap_spicegirls_knock_off while flooding the rest of the market with artists like $random_teen_chick and $overhyped_guy_who_looks_gay ...

Huh? What about Jar Jar!?

Gah! Spoilers

[jtkooch]

Well take this!

Vader is Lukes father
Soilent Green is people
XXX Sucks
And the third LOTR and the third Matrix are actually the same movie!

it is lacking credibility.

(no class either, but Python fails to recognize that)

Re:Yoda speak is Latin, dammit

[Pres. Ronald Reagan]

Shut up.

Re:fuck cgi gollum

[Catnapster]

I disagree.

Nobody wants to see Christopher Walken dressed only in a loincloth.

If you wanna see impossible, wait for that scene where you see Neo spinning around like a top with that pole when he fights those Smiths. And flies away at the same time. And accelerates his spinning.

But if he jumped really hard while spinning and holding the pole out at arm's length, he could bring the pole in close to his chest, thereby in order to preserve the angular momentum the rate of rotation would need to increase. Or, uh... I guess it could be done on computers. Ahem.
