Anbody know why ?

Maybe on television a person is more likely to believe the awards actually go to the best actors and movies. ------------------ "Asleep at the switch?

And tough stuff it is, too -all going on, when every little boy in Denmark ought to sleep - with the big prices given away at 6,30 in the morning - But great fun - anyway, -and exiting, too. I'm still running LOTR one single show a day, waiting, waiting... /p.  |  IP: Logged Per Hauberg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 883 From: Malling, Denmark Registered: Jul 2000 posted 03-22-2002 08:32 PM                        Thanks, Mr P., for the links.

The Shrine is hoping to lure the Academy back next year with a multi-million dollar refurbishment. http://www.calendarlive.com/top/1,1419,L-LATimes-Search-X!ArticleDetail-54185,00.html  |  IP: Logged Per Hauberg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 883 From: Malling, Denmark Registered: Jul 2000 posted 03-23-2002 07:01 AM                        Was it Shrine, then - last year ?
