The performances by Elijay Wood, Sean Astin, Sean Bean!!!, and Viggo Mortenson especially deserve Oscars for their actual value as what they are, Great Performances!! But because not a one of them is perverse, degenerate or homosexually explicit, they won't be given any credit where they are due. Not by Hollywood anyway.

I am not so bitter as you, you know! (Hopeless optimist alert) Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Jack Nicolson, many of the names that have lasted a long time and didn't burn out, have pretty classy reputations. It doesn't hurt, certainly, to be part of a focus group, in that crowd, but I do think if you are clean, not only are you still well respected, but they also seem to last longer. I have hope!

The actors that you have listed have all performed in movies that have a pro-homosexual theme. Any actor performing in those type roles are the "Hollywood darlings" and on the "A-list", thus Oscars nom., awards, ect.

Viggo Mortenson has spoiled Aragorn for me forever. I was so thoroughly convinced of Aragorn until that actor had to do his prissy little display. Interesting that we haven't heard a peep from him since then. Why hasn't he been in the forefront of all these 'no blood for oil' demos if he was so concerned? And Andy Serkis now??? All I do now is just roll my eyes. I am not angry anymore. Just bored.

As for Sean...I KNEW there was a reason I liked him!!! He was very good in Toy Soldiers...hubba hubba...

I still have a thing for Pippin though....

Yeah, you are probably right. Their parts in it will send them to further successes. Sean Bean has already been given a role as Ulysses in the production on Helen of Troy. And Orlando Bloom will be in it too. And the guy from BlackHawk Down plays Paris!
