#Lord of the Rings awards

Bonus internet points will be awarded to anyone who actually tries this exercise before voting.
Assume you need to get the spelling at least somewhat close, and if a character has multiple names, only one counts. Also, if a character doesn't have a canonical name, I'm sorry, but "that guy's wife" doesn't count.
For reference, if you can name the 9 members of the Fellowship, the eponymous Hobbit and his 13 dwarf buddies, 3 prominent women, and the guy who runs the Rivendell B&B, that's 27 characters right there. And you probably also know the name of a dragon.
For further reference, Tolkien Gateway has 637 (!!) pages dedicated to Third Age characters. (Don't click that link until you've voted, of course)
Edit: Your humble pollmaker gave this a try, and got as far as 73 before deciding she was too tired to keep trying to remember dwarf and Silm names. If you also want to share (and don't mind people being incredulous at your having forgot ____), pastebin allows you to paste text and share it for free. :)

Title
The Pinnacles - Exploring the Paths of the Dead
The Pinnacles on the North Island of New Zealand are just amazing and fascinate with remarkable rock formations. One might also know this place from "Lord of the Rings" as the "Paths to the Dead". I think this is a perfect title for this stunning panorama. The image is showing a person (/me) with a lamp exploring this surreal place during the night with the Milky Way expanding over the scenery.

Surprised I haven't seen this over here yet but Morfydd Clark was at the BAFTAs yesterday and actually teased more about season 2 of "Rings of Power"!!! 😀 She talked about how there's "lots of villains" this season and then said "And I love villains". LOL 😏 Cate Blanchett was also there too and seeing a lot of posts of pics of both Galadriels. But also there was a moment where Morfydd was pictured close to Cillian Murphy with Fellowship of Fans joking it was Galadriel with her uncle as Cillian's been a popular fancast for Fëanor for years. LOL

everyone who watches Lord of the Rings and claims Frodo was whiny has clearly never been on a DofE expedition
#is this too specific#dofe is an exclusively british thing i think#basically its an award you work for because it looks good on work and college applications#but it requires you to go on a multiple day hiking trip which is notoriously traumatic#okay haha now laugh at my joke#it was funny#lord of the rings#lotr#frodo baggins#i literally love that little freak so much#can i tag dofe#dofe#BAHA IT HAS A TAG#fml#giggling

"Suddenly Boromir’s breath caught, reminding him of his aching chest. Relief, pride, affection overwhelmed him. They had won! Pippin lay sleeping curled about Boromir’s horn, his chin resting on its rim, its curved end about his waist, and his arm tucked over it." ['Rapid Peril' by Carolyn Golledge. 2008]

One Dress a Day Challenge
November: Oscar Winners
The Return of the King / Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn (King Elessar)
Year: 2003
Designers: Ngila Dickson and Richard Taylor
I think everybody knows that the awards for this movie are kind of unofficial acknowledgements of the whole trilogy retroactively, but I did want to feature something from the actual third movie. There aren't too many new costumes in it, and most of the women's costumes have been covered in other posts. But the armorers outdid themselves with Aragorn's coronation armor. The detail really shows up on the screen.
The breastplate shows the symbol of the seven stars over the white tree in flower. At the top appears to be Tolkien's own design for the crown of Gondor (see below), which was just a repurposed war helmet. The actual crown that Aragorn wears is much nicer looking, but I'm a bit surprised they deviated from the book on this. Usually they tried hard to follow the book descriptions even when it might look silly--for example, their interpretation of the "wings of seabirds" on the helmets of the tower guard. (I personally don't think they got that right, but still, they weren't afraid of looking goofy.)

For a show that had a 30% completion rate it's first season, Amazon really shouldn't of have bothered releasing fake spoilers, I doubt many people are even checking for S2 leaks anyways as most have already checked out after S1. First Amazon lies and inflates their viewership numbers (also see Citadel) and now this lol. If the show had been a worldwide phenomenon like Game of Thrones was back in the day then I understand but what Amazon is pulling here with this flop show is pure clownery. I bet season two's viewership will fall even more.
#anti trop#anti rop#anti rings of power#anti the rings of power#lotr#lord of the rings#amazon#anti amazon#what a waste of money this show is#also got almost no award recognition like amazon wanted#and thanks to this damn flop many amazon workers lost their jobs...#funny how low budget shows like reacher are the ones getting the viewership and love from the casuals

okay i’m also mad that nope wasn’t nominated for like anything at the oscars as evidenced by by post about being mad that was being reblogged here but let’s not come for the one nominee that literally invented a whole new camera and new filming techniques to capture actors at supersonic flight at imax quality from the inside of a cockpit. you don’t have to like it to respect the amount of effort and ingenuity that went into the production.
#do you know what the two genres are that the academy is NOTORIOUSLY terrible at rewarding?? horror and ACTION#at MOST they’ll give both below the line awards#the closest to action the academy gets before getting scared is lord of the rings#of the movies that came out last year i’m pretty sure the only ones that actually pioneered filming techniques were top gun nope and avatar#and yeah actually i love nope but maverick had better editing do you know how DIFFICULT it is to make a chaotic action sequence legible#geographically let alone easy to follow?#nope should at MINIMUM received sound and FX noms but that’s not maverick’s fault#so go yell at triangle of sadness or something ruben östlund is a hack and we should focus on that
