Continuing to be thrilled for the exquisitely talented British Actor Richard Armitage’s win as 
Best Supporting Actor at Thursday’s 41st Annual Saturn Awards–for fantasy, science fiction, and horror films–below are my musings and several fan wallpaper responses of congratulations and such!
But first! The man himself, Richard Armitage! Take a bow, Sir! Your searing and epic portrayal of Thorin Oakenshield in The Hobbit Films–and especially in The Battle of the Five Armies–has cemented the legend of Thorin’s quest, honor, and leadership in our hearts for generations to come! Congratulations for this much deserved honor!

Now to some of the fan expressions of congratulations to and celebration of Richard Armitage:
Love this Happy Saturn-Thorin Day wallpaper by Glady Roland, which inspired me to post this topic today, Satur-n-day, versus on Sunday:
M Lady Gisborne at her It’s an RA World blog has collected several of the Saturn Awards party images together in her blog post.
RANet (www.RichardArmitageNet.com) will also have a gallery of pictures soon. Until then, checkout the RANet Twitter feed for pix and this video of RA accepting his award:
And Obscura at her Ancient Armitage blog also explains the present and historical context for those flower crown pix (below). Thanks!
These are just a few of the many fan congratulations and celebrations. So finally, here was my own contribution (the original Thorin image that I masked out was from a cap by Thorin of Erebor, Thanks!):
Congratulations again, Richard! Hugs!
P.S. For other bloggers, tumblrs, etc., with links of congratulations and celebration for Richard Armitage’s Saturn Award win, please share your links in a comment below. Thanks!

So much is going on with that pix. Ha! But I’ll just stick with the Thorin Sandwich notion that popped into my head. *blushes*

June 27, 2015–Fedoralady (Thanks!) of The Armitage Effect blog did the flower crowns image with a twist, after she shared this posed snoozing image of a tired/sotted Richard Armitage (Ha!). Richard Armitage is such a goofball at times–and he certainly doesn’t mind puncturing his own urbane image–as he does here. Ha!
