MTV Movie Awards - Gollum's Acceptance Clip

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the worth-a-look dept.

tinderbox writes "Tolkien fansite TheOneRing.net has a Quicktime clip of Gollum - and Andy Serkis - accepting the golden popcorn for Best Visual Performance at the MTV Movie Awards. It's hysterical." No joking, this is probably the funniest acceptance speech I have ever seen. Yoda had a speech for winning "Best Fight", but it wasn't anything close to this.

    Don't care about the Oscars or the BAFTA. It's the voice of the underground subculture that counts.

      MTV is an underground subculture? That must be why they play all those music videos from independent artists with an innovative sound.

      MTV Plays music videos?

      I thought all they gave us now was awards shows, and lots of "Reality" programming.

    All you have to do is watch MTV for another day or two... The awards show will be on about 32 times in a week.

      I would rather kiss Gollum than watch MTV for a day or two.

    Why slashdot gave gollum billing over the skimpily clad dancing lesbians that shortly followed is beyond me. This is news for nerds, after all.
