(The part I don't understand about the article though is why does it say it will br followed by the Drive Angry Premiere...when that was 2 nights ago?!)
Still finding it very strange how quiet this event is being if it really happened? here is a link showing photos of arrivals to the Awards honouring Nic, but he isn't in them!
I made a polite enquiry on the LA italia site, mentioning the original link where the news was circulated, i have concerns about it' accuray seeing as it had the incorrect date for the premiere, but no reply. But the link hasb't been pulled either....
We don't know if the event did or didn't happen yet Tues, we were going on one report that was repeated across the net on other sites, but is not backed up on the LA Itlaia website. That to me indicates the origianl report was incorrect, for somethig as high prople as that with such a major star as Nic would surely be mentioned on the official site? I contacted both the original site and LA Italia for clarification, but no response still!
That's right Tues, this topic is from last week and the article got the wrong date for the premiere anyway...but i would still love to know if the article was accurate and if Nic received this award or not, wouldn't you?
there is no need to place blame on them for their incompetence and lack of professionalism..yep i wanna know truth nothing the truth,hope nic received this award
