**AOTC Awards - The Ballots are Counted- See Who You Voted For!**

ok why the heck is Portman being voted worst actress? ok ill admit, she was wooden 25% of the time but please, cut her some slack, she's HOT!

 

Lots of people voted her best and worst on the same ballot because they felt she was hot and cold.

 

Like Jedi Lite's post mentioned, she was also voted best actress, which I voted her for. Honestly, I think she won both because she's the only prominent female in the movie. There's advantages and drawbacks to that...

WORST VEHICLE/TRANSPORT

The winner (or, more appropriately, "loser") of this category will probably stir very little emotion, but it's a good category to have -- since Star Wars is largely based on being 'technically' cool. And you have to admit it, that's a huge part of the draw for a lot of fans. But everyone makes mistakes. Here's a look at the vehicle that should have gone back to the drawing board...


Runner-Up:

CORUSCANT FREIGHTER
(14 VOTES)

[image=http://www.theforce.net/episode2/ships/pics/freighter.jpg]

Imagine a flying subway and that's what you get with the Coruscant Freighter. Probably despised because it looks too bulky... and non-StarWarsy. Okay, I just made up that term. It's a sorry state of affairs when you have to make up a term to describe how bad something is. It was a close call though. Many vehicles came close to taking this honor (SEE LIST BELOW).

Winner:

COUNT DOOKU'S GEONOSIAN SPEEDER
(45 VOTES)

[image=http://www.theforce.net/episode2/ships/pics/geonosian-speeder.jpg]

Often called a "Hogg" or "moped" or "stupid-looking" when referred to by voters, it is clear to me that between this and the Solar Sailor (which earned 13 votes), Count Dooku has poor travel taste. He probably even flies Southwest Airlines.

"I don't think it was a properly dignified mode of transportation for him." --Green_Lightsaber
"Just didn't look right somehow." --Palpatine's Aide

DISHONORABLE MENTIONS:
Solar Sailor (13 Votes)

Hey, kids! My brother's band is playing a show tonight that I forgot about! I will have to finish this later. Yes, you may all throw stones. Look at it this way, at least the fun isn't ending yet! Ciao!

 

*Throws his chair at the stage*

 

Jedi_Lite: You are very funny. I especially like your bit about the disadvantages of being a decoy. If I were a mindless cyber-drone, I would type "ROTFL", but that would merely diminish the acute sense of humor that I felt upon reading your posts. Keep up the good work.

 

And now, the live performance you were promised --

THE MAX REBO BAND!

And joining them, for one night only, is Rick McCallum!

(Rick begins to sing
"And I... will always love youuuuuuuu..."





Rick McCallum loves you!

 

Now that's just scary...

 

Answer to the question on page 16 by Buc_Man on who else voted for Aayla. I am proud to anounce I voted for her for best character.

 

*has a psychotic episode over AdamBertocci's disturbing Max Rebo/Rick McCallum post*

Please, I implore you! Follow your thoughts through to their conclusion! GAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOooooooo.....

 

*has a psychotic episode over the mention of "follow your thoughts through to conclusion*

That is my least favorite line in Star Wars history. Did you look up my vote JUST to spite me?




Rick McCallum loves you!

 

Yes indeed... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'm in charge of psychotic episodes now, m'lady!

 

Good JOB! Thanks for all your effort =)

I liked the little comments you made after each award....

 

Adam - that was great! Thanks for getting the Max Rebo Band to play in this thread. I was going to book them but I ran over-budget with the awards presentation (those royalties to Grilled-Sarlacc for the photo archive). I can't believe you even got Kenner to sponsor the whole thing!

Grilled-Sarlacc's Spice Mine - AOTC Pics Galore!

Oh, and Rose-, don't be embarrassed! At least you didn't mistake a girl for a guy for 2 or 3 days!

 

Excellent show! This is such a fun thread.

I can't wait to see the next awards.

Is there really going to be a similar awards event for the other movies? That would be very cool.

 

Silverhill - I sure hope so! I need to set up an awards committee before I start it though. It would also be cool to have another in the AOTC thread -- for those "forgotten" categories.

I just thought of 2 more Categories!
-Character You Wish Wouldn't Have Died
-Character You Wish Had Died



EDIT:
The following categories still remain:
-Best Sound
-Worst Sound
-Best Line
-Best Scene

 

Hey jedi_Lite this is great i cant wait to see if you do one on all the films, it would be cool if you could think up one one to do with EpiIII maybe like "the best transport/veichle you would like to see" or something...

but anyway on behalf of me and all my friends grwat work and entertainment!!!!!!

 

Thanks, everyone, for your kind words. The only thing that could make this more fun for me would be if Peter Mayhew came back to the forums and voted in this thread.*









*Yes, I just now figured out that he has posted here before.

Why in the world would u put this as the worst line?!?!?!?!?!?!? "Somehow i sense you will be the death of me." -Obi-Wan And that's not even what he says...He says "Why do I get the feeling you'll be the death of me."

 

Have we had all the categories yet?

I hope not, I want this to be the longest awards ceremony ever!

 

BEST LINE

A great line of dialogue. The knuckle-headed critics might argue that there is none to be found in AOTC, but that's why they're critics and we're fans. And that's why we see that there were oodles of great lines in the latest installment of SW -- and that's why I've asked you all to vote on your favorite. And that's what this is... down below.


Runner-Up:

"WHY DO I GET THE FEELING YOU'LL BE THE DEATH OF ME?" --Obi-Wan
(17 VOTES)

[image=http://64.227.26.45/Grilled-Sarlacc/s/i/scolding.jpg]

Most people love that this line is included -- most people that actually processed it, that is. I find it odd (but cool) that one of the most ironic lines in the SW saga is a joke! And what's more -- the joke is really funny... but it shouldn't be! Maybe that's why none of the crowds I've seen AOTC with in the theater are responsive to it. Oh, wait... they're just clueless.

"Really was worried this line would sound phoney, but it worked well." --NORTHSTAR
"In all 3 of my viewings, not once have I heard a reaction to that one, and for some reason I think that's part of the greatness behind the quote. Most people aren't consciously putting together the connection yet." --Shinerfan

Winner:

"I... I KILLED THEM. I KILLED THEM ALL. THEY'RE DEAD, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. AND NOT JUST THE MEN, BUT THE WOMEN, TOO. THEY'RE ANIMALS, AND I SLAUGHTERED THEM LIKE ANIMALS. I HATE THEM!"
(47 VOTES)

[image=http://64.227.26.45/Grilled-Sarlacc/s/i/g-400.jpg]

Wow. Suddenly our young padawan is knowing all of the things that a Jedi must never know. The love stuff may not have done much harm on its own, but the hate expressed in this speech is the beginning of the end of the Anakin Skywalker we once knew. A powerful speech, very well executed, and now immortalized by the fans who voted.

"Floored me. Especially with the Imperial March playing in the background." --skillmatic
"Just great, and maybe one of the best pieces of dialogue in the saga." --Green_Lightsaber's pal

HONORABLE MENTIONS:
Yoda: Lost a planet Master Obi-wan has. How embarrassing. How embarrassing! (12 Votes)
Obi-Wan: Good job. (11 Votes)
Obi-Wan: Oh, not good. (10 Votes)
Mace: This party's over. (9 Votes)
Obi-Wan: That's why I'm here. (7 Votes)

I must say (even though I'm not the first to do so), I love the way you're presenting the awards -- with commentary, photos, quotes and runners up.
