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."

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?

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

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!?

it is lacking credibility.

AttributeError: class mtv has no attribute 'credibilty'

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

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.
