you are so right. viggo is a hott actor (and a good one) and miranda is a good actress.

I say Sean Astin as Sam because while being Sam he supports Frodo. I would also say Viggo or Orlando, but Sean.

Um...

Not to beat on Lord of the Rings but any nomination for supporting actor is going to have to compete with Daniel Day-Lewis in "Gangs of New York". It just shouldn't happen people!

I don't think any of the actors had enough time on screen to actually act enough to deserve an oscar. I mean the acting was decent from everyone...but no one really stood out. Gandalf was great in FoTR but in this one his role was way too small to get an award. Basically, I think in this movie there were too many battle shots and not enough acting...

This format doesn't lend itself to the type of acting that gets awards. We usually give oscars to performers who present a charater in a way that make us say to ourselves " I have felt that way but could never put it to words or actions unless I was actually feeling it". All these characters are so well know to us, that any improvisation on their part would be ridiculed as another departure from the real character as presented in the book and dismissed out of hand.

But, if any actor gets close to this, it is the gollum character. And look at the ridicule he gets from the purists.......

Aragorns_girl00 · Dec 28, 2002

ACTOR- ARAGORN
ACTRESS-ARWEN
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR- SAM
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS- EOWYN

that's what i think.

This was a THREE HOUR film! Frodo and Aragorn probably had as much time in each of their plot threads as most lead actors get in a standard 100 minuter. I know a lot of the battles were CG, but they were fronted by actors, and to act a decent battle scene does take talent.

On watching it the third time, I am very impressed with Sean Astin's performance, but I was MORE impressed with Bernard Hill. I only now noticed how almost every line he had was memorable and impressive and he said them all with great power. Hooray for coming out of that slim role in Titanic and getting something he could sink his teeth into!

lilhobo · Dec 28, 2002

yeah but his important lines were designed for the muster of rohan !!

Andy Serkis is walking it!

This matches another poll on this forum which asks who is the best newcomer in TTT. I wonder if they will re-define the rules or add another category so he can get an Oscar?

Ascamaciliel · Jan 6, 2003

Sean Astin all the way.

Goldberry344 · Jan 6, 2003

Andy Serkis! he's amazing, he put so much time into a movie and he never enven showed his face. i dont think he'll get it, i think he should, but what can we say.

Eledhwen · Jan 11, 2003

If we regard Andy Serkis' CG 'skin' as makeup, then he should be considered for best supporting actor. If they'd been able to make a rubber outfit for him to wear that was convincing, he could be considered; so why can't he be considered when he wears a CG outfit? It was his moves and his voice.

Gil-Galad · Jan 11, 2003

In the first part that is Gandalf,but I don't think he deserves to be nominated again for best supporting act.This time I think Sean Astin should be nominated.

Murgul Blade · Jan 12, 2003

Sean austin showed extream talent

Valdarmyr · Jan 12, 2003

Okay, well I just gave Brad Dourif his first vote here for his performance as Grima. I voted for him because he put "spice" into the role, but it wasn't over the top. If the academy is okay with voting for someone who provided the basis for a CG character, then I don't doubt Andy Serkis will get nominated. I also have a feeling Orlando Bloom and Bernard Hill might have a chance.

I also have to agree that the film time of many of these performances may be too short to warrant an Oscar nomination, but hey, here's hoping!

I would like to have seen Karl Urban's Eomer get more screen time! Maybe he'll get more in ROTK!

FREEDOM! · Jan 12, 2003

I think sean astin should be.

sharkeysmate · Jan 14, 2003

IMO there is no contest here. Andy Serkis is a clear winner for his portrayal of Gollum. His vocalisation of Gollum and his body movement (which accounts for most of what Gollum actually does) combined with the CGI part (essentially Gollums expressions) made Gollum THE most outstanding character of TTT. He was the only character (Theoden grieving for the death of his son excepted) that genuinely moved me. I agree that the academy should view the CGI part as make-up, but I sincerely doubt that this will happen.
