Admins/Mods, please do not delete or close this thread, I searched and this will be different than the other threads because it isn't just about Andy Serkis

Now on with the thread! Personally, I do think Andy Serkis should be nominated for his role as Gollum/Smeagol, however I think there are two other actors that should also be nominated.

Sam (Sean Astin) should definitely have a nomination. I think his performance was brilliant and really shows the true characteristics of Sam. Also his 1 1/2 minute monologue at the end was amazing. People were in tears in the theater during that, and it was great. I mean, it is one thing to recite lines, but to fill such emotion and truth into the words you are given isn't as easy as it sounds, and I think he was stellar in TTT. He certainly do wonders with Sam compared to FotR.

Grima Wormtongue (Brad Dourif) I think should also be nominated. I know his role was rather small, but I think he was the best cast actor out of the movie thus far. I truly felt he was the perfect Wormtongue, and I couldn't get over how much I felt he truly was Wormtongue. He definitely was commanding in his role and performed outstanding for who Grima is.

There are many other great actors in this movie, but I'd say out of everyone those would be my choices....

Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta!' - And those were the words that Elendil spoke when he came up out of the Sea on the wings of the wind: 'Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh. Forgive me, fairest of all males of Entmoot...Back down, all ye other wannabe fairest males! Dunedain is the fairest!" --Linaewen
