The man who brought us Eomer last night picked up a Best Supporting Actor award at New Zealand's Qantas Film and Television Awards for his role as policeman Nick Harvey in the movie Out of the Blue:

The gripping re-telling of the 1990 Aramoana massacre, Out of the Blue, swept the movie section of the awards, picking up six awards including best picture.
Matthew Sutherland and Karl Urban picked up the awards for best actor and supporting actor for their roles in the popular movie.

Well done Karl!

I thought he was wonderful in Out of the Blue, as was Matthew Sutherland. It must have been a tough film to make.

Karl's acceptance speech was very gracious.
 
Haven`t seen the movie but the award makes me wonder if he`s like Heath Ledger - doesn`t work in action leading men roles but does a great job in meaty supporting ones. Don`t kill me for being honest but I thought he was terrible in Pathfinder (zero charisma, zero acting chops) and forgettable in LOTR but I also thought Ledger was awful in A Knight`s Tale, Four Feathers and forgettable in The Patriot. However, he was amazing in The Dark Knight (Oscar-worthy!), Brockeback Mountain, and that movie whose name escapes me for which Halle Berry won the Oscar. So maybe KU also needs a well-written character to show what he can do. Congrats!
 
I too thought he was good in Out of the Blue - and obviously LOTR,

I can't wait to see him as Bones McCoy in Star Trek - but it's not released until next year!
 
A mini-moot sounds good. I've been a bit out-of-control trying to juggle a job and a couple of projects. Am surfacing for air!
