Lord of the Rings director
Peter Jackson wins
Modern Master Award
JACKSON
SANTA BARBARA, Calif.
(AP) — Peter Jackson, director
of the award-winning “Lord of
the Rings” trilogy, can add
another prize to his collection.
The New Zealand native
picked up the Modern Master
Award — along with a stuffed
kiwi — at the Santa Barbara
Film Festival on Saturday.
Jackson's most recent film, “The Lord of the
Rings: The Return of the King,” won Golden
Globes for best picture and director, and is nominat
ed for 11 Oscars this year, including best picture,
director and adapted screenplay.
Sean Astin, who plays the heroic hobbit Samwise
Gamgee in the films, intrcxluced Jackson to a sold-
out audience at the Arlington Theatre.
Jackson, 42, told stories about making the trilogy
adapted from J.R.R. Tolkien's epic Middle-earth
adventure.
He specifically recalled contending with the for
midable Ian McKellan, who plays the wizard
Gandalf. At one point. McKellan wanted to know
why, in “Return of the King,” he was doing hand-
to-hand combat with ores.
“He said, 'Why am I hitting these people, and
not just blasting them with my staff?"’ Jackson said.
“1 told him 'The batteries have run out.’ He just
looked at me and said 'Right, then.'”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge has dismissed
a lawsuit accusing rap star Snoop Dogg of including
a message left on his answering machine in a song

The lawsuit was filed last March in Los Angeles
Superior Court on behalf of a man who kept his
name secret because of safety concerns.
The man claimed his one-minute message

album “Paid the Cost to be Tha Boss.”
