It's always nice to wake up to fresh Keanu photos.
Here are some images taken at last night's World Stunt Awards (sponsored by Red Bull! Why was I, their keanuphile spokesmodel, NOT INVITED?) from Yahoo News (via POTD)
Yeah, the third one is my favorite too.
-More scruffy Keanu goodness from last night can be found over at Club-Keanu's gallery.
Why am I reminded of Ride of the Valkyries?
Posted by: Tabitha on May 17, 2004 08:29 AMYes! It's an outrage, that YOU weren't invited!
How dare they!
Not only do you promote Keanu, you also plug red bull whenever you get to see him during concerts!
*drat* If I had known about this, I would have jumped on a motorbike, you seated behind me, so that we could crash through the glass windows, into the building, and park it on the stage while doing a wheelie!
All this while looking very elegant and stuntwoman-ish, of course :-)
Hmpf. It's their loss, really ;-)
And pic no 3 makes me smile in all sorts of ways :-)
Posted by: Julie! on May 17, 2004 08:44 AMHooray!! Our hunna-bunna got an award! Someone appreciates him. I am so psyched to see this when it airs!!!!
It's so big. Stunt-people, what is up with that? Making sure it isn't in a bookcase un-noticed? What IS it?
Posted by: Tawny on May 17, 2004 08:53 AMHey, Krix. That would have been great if you could have taken the award to the presenter, who passed it to him. But would that have been enough? You are so much more than a spokesmodel.
Posted by: Tawny on May 17, 2004 08:59 AMMan, that's an awfully big hood ornament ;)
Posted by: Melissa on May 17, 2004 09:08 AMMy favorite is the last one, where our hero is looking a bit misty. Damn, is he a sweetie or what?
Hey Krix, did you notice that we get to see Chad Stahelski in this show too? Yummers.
Posted by: Chianti on May 17, 2004 09:41 AMOooooo, I loves me some Chad.
I have to make sure that roi tapes this for me.
...they should at least have made an annoucement about the Vision and you at the WSA!
...and the statue reminds me of the fine-boned Spirit of Ecstasy ("Emily" on the Rolls)
rather than of something massive and threatening like a valkyrie...
That last pic is my favourite too...:)
Well done Keanu!
Posted by: Keanuette on May 17, 2004 11:39 AMthis is so mr. reeves as we all know him: he is going to get an award (*lol* niobe, good one! Have you noticed how huge is that trophy? - oscar go home!) and he shows up as always: with combed hair, fresh shaved, a nice suit with new shoes which colours go together very well with … not with his suit … but with his shirt.
yes, krix, I want you see there next time with him, too. And please put this guy under the shower – before you guys will go out … ;-)
ps, pix 3. yep he‘s still my favourite dancebear!
Posted by: creezy on May 17, 2004 11:50 AMi give him a kiss, maybe a thousand of them...))
Posted by: wanda on May 17, 2004 02:07 PMThat award will look just fine next to his freakin surfboard awards from the Kids Choice!...When will he get some respect from his peers (thespians)? Over 40 films and not one Oscar nomination? However, I am very happy to see he was recognized for his Matrix dedication and talent.
Posted by: Hanapana on May 17, 2004 03:08 PMi predict 2 oscars in his future... we will see we will see!!!!! how do i know this??? i have seen the door AND i have walked through it!!!!
Posted by: wanda on May 17, 2004 03:16 PMthis one looks much more as holy-gun to me, and dammit, his smile goes from heart, it´s really pleasant to see it
*dreamily*
Hanapana, they missed their chance with a somination for Best Supporting Actor for SGG. Maybe someday...
Posted by: Chianti on May 17, 2004 03:49 PMthat's our keanu, humble and emotional and rambunctious and grateful and did i mention absolutely stunning? *sight*
Posted by: lori on May 17, 2004 04:05 PMerm, yes, he was a stunning *sight*, wasn't he?(and i really just wanted to *sigh*)
sheesh!
Posted by: lori on May 17, 2004 04:06 PMthis hasn't already aired yet.... right??? i'm so confused! lol
Posted by: cornflakes on May 17, 2004 05:27 PMOH YES...I would want to be there to see that Julie! LOL! Krix, maybe next year...hehe
I heard today that he received a standing ovation, is this true? It is so touching...I am so happy for him, brings a tear to my eye! Way to go Keanu! Personally, I think it means more than an Oscar...and it truly IS much larger LOL!
As a general rule, I already have tremendous respect for "stunt-people"...now I like them just that much more.
just exactly *what* is he doing in that third pic? the mashed potato? lol the fourth one is my favorite, he seem so genuinely touched. such a sweet, humble man.
Posted by: casluvskeanu on May 17, 2004 07:17 PMI didn't get to see last night's show, and scream into my Tele as Kanu was presented with his award. So thanx for capturing these super cool moments. *megasmiles*
Posted by: phoenix IX on May 17, 2004 09:11 PMLooks like an emtotional evening - from Bruce Springsteen to Tom Hanks. Thanks for posting these. Loving each one.
Posted by: bea_herenow on May 18, 2004 04:43 AMthis is so ever cute!! cant wait to see it. May 26th right? on SpikeTV! Keanu we're watching ya baby! and we love ya! GOOD TO KNOW OTHER PEOPLE APPRECIATE YOU TOO!!! :)
*sigh*
He's just too perfect. I love the 3rd & 4th picture, Keanu in a nutshell.
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww baaaaby, bout time, all that hard work he put in and to hear him say at the end of the et or ah clippy thing, "I have never done a stunt in my life...." ha, but you worked your finnnnnnnnne behind off man!!!! and we love you for it. sorry bout the overlook on redbulls part, they are really dropping the ball eh?
smilin over here
Just catching up here. V v glad he got something at last. You know, in the third one I think he's re-enacting the chateau fight scene from Reloaded. In fact the trophy looks like one of those weapons that you could fight off the Merovingian's henchmen with. But the fourth one, *sniff*. I too feel a moment coming on.
Posted by: squirrel on May 20, 2004 05:33 AMHi Krix and all..
I just thought I'd stop by to see if anyone of you people seen the commercial tonight on Spike TV....advertising the Taurus Awards to be shown this Wednesday May 26 9:00p.m. on Spike tv chanel. I seen the commercial, for the first time this evening and they show about 2 seconds of Keanu Reeves, (seems to be on the red carpet) and he looks great.
I'm all exited about seeing it this Wednesday night....
Keeping in good spirits and thinking good thoughts
Take Care...
