Ummm...Ian McKellan might take home a statue and it might win for Best Cinematography or whatever but I don't think it will win Best Picture or any of those other big ones.Why?Because it's a fantasy movie(people have lots of bias against fantasy and often shun it in favor of more...cultured films.) and it's up against movies like A Beautiful Mind and In The Bedroom(hated that movie ). Judges consider these movies to be more...artistic and thoughtful, and unfortunately, although FOTR deserves to win every single nomination, the sad truth is it may not win anything at all. Anyway, that's my two cents, and I couldn't care less what judges think of it, I KNOW it's a great movie.
