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.

      Andy Serkis: Hi every body. My name is Andy Serkis, and I'm delighted to receive this award on behalf of everybody who brought Gollum to life. Can't actually be with you this evening because we're down in New Zeeland completing more shots on Gollum for the Return of the King. I'm actually in the motion capture studio where we do a lot of Gollum. Eehmm... I would like to say a big thank you to all the MTV fans, to the Lord of the Rings fans, and to everybody who worked on Gollum. It is a complete marriage of skills-

      Bad Gollum: You're a liar, and a thief. It's mine! I won it! It was me! You only won because of me!

      Good Gollum: And me. MTV is my friend. My friend.

      Bad Gollum: You don't have any friends. Nobody likes you.

      Good Gollum: Dobby likes me!

      Bad Gollum: Dobby? Dobbs's a *BEEP*cking *BEEP*.

      Andy Serkis: That's enough, Gollum.

      Bad Gollum: Piss off, Serkis, you stupid fat worthless *BEEP* turd.

      Andy Serkis: I'm not fat.

      Bad Gollum: We're not gonna thank anyone, oh noo. Not you, not MTV, and not those pigs at WETA digital, or Peter Jackson my precious. Who do you think you are, you *BEEP*ng hack? Shame on you! Shame on you! Go f*BEEP* your self.

      Good Gollum: Not listening. Not listening.

      Bad Gollum: Frankly, nothing can compensate for the long hours and low pay and miserable experience we've had making this *BEEP*ing movie. And if you think *BEEP* you getting this top of gold popcorn is going to remotely make up for everything we've suffered, you're sadly *BEEP*ng mistaken. You're all bastards! MTV sucks! We hate you all!

      Good Gollum: Good night.

  2. Better than Yoda's, IMO by Skyshadow · · Score: 5, Informative

    The Gollum speach was the best one of the evening. The Yoda speech was lame -- looked terrible trying to do it live, no emotion, even the jokes were flat (not unlike Episodes 1&2, come to think of it).

      MTV has been reduced to the Shiny things network.

      They are as far from the underground as you possibly can get.

      Hmm, when was the last time you saw a chemical brothers video on MTV.. or a TMBG video? How about something other than HIP-HOP, top 50, or pop?

      MTV=lame and it has been for over 6 years now. They used to be innovative and entertaining... How about Liquid Television? Head Bangers Ball? the things that MADE MTV not the crap like TRL and the real world...

  6. MTV & LOTR by gmuslera · · Score: 4, Informative

    This is a good complement to the previous spoof of LOTR done in the MTV movie awards last year, that even was included in the Fellowship of the Ring DVD. I suppose that this one will be included in the DVD of the The Two Towers.

      If you are referring to the one with Jack Black, it's already on the Extended version of Fellowship as an easter egg. How to access it for region 1 and region 2. It's pretty damned funny, in a Jack Black sort of way.

      The long TTT trailer is also hidden on the Extended version.

  7. Being cynical by Suffering+Bastard · · Score: 4, Insightful

    With all due respect to CmdrTaco, I find it difficult to see much humor in watching Gollum say "fsck!" and spew a bunch of banal insults. Call me a curmudgeon, but I don't think that speech was very clever OR funny.

    Okay, I'll admit I might have let out a slight "heh".

      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.
