Doug,
I agree with your comment that a film should simply not be nominated just because it draws in large crowds of watchers, nor do I feel any of the actors involved in LOTR's have warranted a nomination for best actor (waiting for the backlash of angry Aragorn and Legolas fans now! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] ), but I do feel that just because the three films were filmed together, does not mean that they should be penalized either.
I still believe that fantasy and sci-fi films (and TV and books) are seen as a second class 'citizen'. I watch a wide range of films and read a wide range of books, so I am giving a blinkered view. Maybe the current generation will change things in the future, we shall all have to wait and see.
