<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I hope so, too, and have for a long while. I think there's the chance of a nomination for Best Supporting Actor (although I think he might qualify as just plain Actor, but Supporting fits). I doubt he'll win, though. Maybe I'm just being pessimistic (which is highly likely). But in the past the Academy has passed over lots of excellent films and performances for ones that they like better, and somehow I think they don't like LOTR all that much. Even a nomination would be an honor, though, and not winning fits the role of Sam for me, though, because for most of the journey (and, even, debatably, at the end) he was somewhat of an unsung hero. But that's just my romantic ideals coming forward again, I think.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Sad as it is, I have been watching out for any news on the oscars, and they have already given the names for the Golden Globes {which usually tell what will win in the Oscars}. No LOTR character has been nominated for actor or actress. I think Nicole Kidman will get actress and possibly Tom Cruise for actor but there are other possiblilities. I'm not sure about supporting roles, but I highly doubt that any LOTR actor or actress will get any personal award. You're right, Luthien. The stupid movie critics who chose these things surpass movies like LOTR just because it is a fantasy. Not to mention they choose the more popular person anyway. <BR>---------------------------------------------<P>About Sam's portrayal in the movie, though {to stay on topic}, I loved it. I saw the movie New Year's Day, and, I swear, it is the best movie I have ever seen in my entire life...and I've seen some greats. Sam made me cringe every time they showed a scene with him in it. The worst part was when Frodo told him to go home. I had to hold myself back from screaming out into the audience, since I was sitting second row. I think that part was good for PJ to put into the movie though for it showed Sam's loyalty and friendship even stronger. <P>Sam also had many defining moments throughout the movie that I could not stop talking about. And the dialogue!!! Wow, the writers sure did give Sean some strong dialogue. I was shaking practically the whole time because of it. <P>The end was great. I can't even describe it. The other Hobbits were good and all on there acting, but it wasn't until Frodo talked to Sam and Sam started to cry that I lost it. Everyone here always said to bring tissues because you would be crying. I didn't cry in either of the first two movies, and I didn't throughout the whole third movie. A tear did not fall, and I have witnesses to prove this, until Sam turns to Frodo, tears streaming down his own cheeks, and says:<P>"You don't mean that. You can't leave." <P>Ok, since I'm almost in tears again, I'm going to end this post. The strange thing is, I don't think I've seen Samwise on here yet. I wonder why....
