TORn takes home 2 Movies.com Awards!

TheOneRing.net team has won two awards at the Movies.com Awards, which took
place in Hollywood CA, on September 22nd, 2004. The Bastards Have Landed
(TBHL.TheOneRing.net) took home the award for Best Director Fan Site, and
TheOneRIng.net took home the 'Editor's Choice' Award!

The categories were for both Official sites, and Fan Run sites, and then
winners were picked by Popular vote among fans, and by the Editor's of
Movies.com. That's why there are two winners in each category. Sometimes
it's the same site, and sometimes two sites won an award.

The awards event was held at the Lucky Strike bowling alley at the Hollywood
and Highland complex, and included a complimentary game. We were treated to
an open bar and food (hot dogs and hamburgers, a bowling alley staple if
ever there was one) and everyone from Movies.com were super nice. This is
one group that understands hospitality, with one staffer actually fetching
bowling shoes for the guests.

I didn't know that much about Movies.com, but found out they are part of the
Disney web family, so they are much bigger than I thought they were. Some of
the other guests I talked with were from the DanRadcliffe.com site, the
TeamNicole.com site, and Keith from the Ian McClellen site. Because this was
a local event, and not too terribly big, it was basically just local staff
for the various websites in attendance. But that didn't seem to matter, it
was a very nice event hosted by cool people and everyone seemed to enjoy
themselves. They even gave us gift bags on top of the awards, so kudos
there.

The awards of interest to LOTR fans are as follows:

TheOneRing.net won the award for the Best Movie Fan Website, as decided upon
by the Editors of Movies.com. Muggle.net won the Fan vote in this category.

TBHL won the award for the Best Director Fan site in the Fan Vote category,
while Spielbergfilms.com won the Editor's choice award.

BillyBoyd.net also won the Best Official Actor site award as voted by the
Fans, while Adam Sandler's official site won the Editor's choice award.
