Alas, there was no Golden Globe Award love for Viggo last night (what does the Foreign Press Association know, anyway *humph*), but still... we will forever have Aragorn!

Hear, hear!!!

Have to confess that my eyes went right to that saddle! :D

It is a really nice saddle. *g* Or at least, I guess it is. I don't really know much about what makes a saddle a good one, but that one certainly is pretty!

I liked that they bothered to give him an appropriate saddle for mounted combat. Here is a picture of a similar saddle for bullfighting--you can see how it has sort of "boards" in the front and back to help keep the rider from sliding out of his/her seat.

The movie producers could have just used a modern riding saddle instead of giving Aragorn an extremely cool medieval saddle. :)

I was thinking that it did look like a very good deep-seated saddle that would be hard to fall out of. I didn't know it was actually a medieval saddle design, though. Definitely very cool of them to include that detail.

Viggo doesn't get much luck with awards, does he, but he'll always have my vote for Aragorn!

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

He really doesn't have much luck, no, and I always wonder why. Maybe he just doesn't kiss up enough (or at all!).

Long live Aragorn!

This is one of my favourite shots. I absolutely adore it. I sooo love the wistfulness of his face.

Behold the King!

He's wistfully watching Christopher Plummer walk off with his Golden Globe...

I'm sure he'll get his some day.

Long live the Ranger King!
