Can anyone explain the issue that Sean Austin was highlighting when LotR won at The Screen Actor's Guild? I only caught the last half hour and missed what Tim Robbins said before.
Rather ironic, since Astin was on stage to accept an award for a film that was filmed entirely in New Zealand.

Not at all ironic -- that's exactly why he was doing it. Actually it seems like kind of a slap in the face to all the Kiwis on the LOTR crew, not least of whom the director. "You shouldn't have this job! An American should have it!"

Ties in closely with this article linked recently by specialk420.
