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.

    Okay, you're a curmudgeon.

    Yoda's speech was predictable. I would see the 'jokes' lining up from about 10km away. Not very clever OR funny.

    The Gollum speech was much better. They showed the duallity in Gollum really well.

    • They introduced us to the general rudeness of Gollum's bad side at the beginning of the acceptance.
    • They demonstrated the innocence of Gollum's good side. "Dobby's my friend"
    • The venomous tirade at the end was the shock and awe. It was so wrong, but yet so right for the character of Gollum.
    My wife, who is neither a StarWars nor a LotR TrueFan, gave Yoda a 'heh' - but was howling at Gollum.
