Discos
I will be falling asleep in registration for 10mins, then perhaps Accounts (I have dozed off in accounts 3 times now), as it is always too hot and too stuffy and is just plain boring!

It will be worth it though, we can tell our children how we were rebels and watched the night which will soon be called "Lord of The Rings Night!"

angelsflame265

my sister: how do u know?
me: cause thats how many there up for

The preshows for me start at 3:00 pm and the Oscars start at 5:30pm

jorgeiscool
I hope the oscars don't run that late, I can't sleep in school tomorrow! I was sick friday so I have to catch up! 1st i've got gym so there is no place to sleep. 2nd i've got a test (which the incompetent sub couldn't teach very well so half the class will fail) 3rd I'm not sure what were doing. 4th, people get in trouble for just lying their head in a desk. 5th is band so it's impossible to sleep there. And 6th, the only class I've evr fallen asleep in, I will probably have to present my project! mad

telcontar
im already at college and i do media, the full title is National Diploma in Media:Moving Image. we get to make films and stuff, really gud big grin

I know an easy way to shorten the Oscars.
First, announce the 11 catagories RotK in nom for, then give the Oscar to the ppl of RotK. That way, everyone who wants to see RotK win can and they don't have to wait hours of announcing noms amd speeches. Just get them out of the way in the beginning. Of course, ratings will surely plummit after RotK wins, but that's because everyone is watching it because of RotK.

aniron
to late for me, I have school, but I'm recording it, si I'll watch it until I can, but there are previews before on bbc 1 with Johnathan ross - my god he loves lotr. GO LOTR AND JOHNNY DEPP.
