Bah, you beat me to it, Lalaith. The BBC is describing RotK as having "taken the nominations by storm". The 11 categories in which it has been nominated are:Art Direction Visual Effects Editing Costume Design Make-Up Sound Music (Score) Music (Song) – Into the West Best Adapted Screenplay Best Director Best PictureSince I have not seen many of the other nominated films, I cannot offer a personal opinion (although I very much suspect that I would go for RotK). However, the momentum certainly seems to be going in RotK's favour. At least five of those (Art Direction, Visual Effects, Costume Design, Make-Up and Score) must be dead certs. And I think the likelihood of Best Picture and Best Director is getting stronger by the minute.
