Hey, Dom's got his skillz in order. I saw him in "Hostile Waters" (TV movie about the Russian sub what sunk off the East coast in the late 80's), and thought he did a decent job of it. Not a huge role, but substantial enough. And this was pre-LotR.
Maybe I've always been here.
Early ,'Objects In Space'
LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

I own this. I think it may have been viewed at the F2F, on mute, FF'd.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Kate, two on your list were actually used in the recent Bio channel special (shown first on A&E's Breakfast with the Arts).
Merry swearing fealty to Theoden and Eomer cradling someone on the Pelennor.
I slo-mo-ed that clip, and from the fact the hair of the cradled person was very blonde and wavy, I'm guessing Eowyn. Theoden's was straighter, darker., shorter. 'Course you realize that's just a wish and a wank, right?
I find #4 on your list least important on mine. And I really, really don't want the last item on your list. I think the way it was done was visceral and bleak and quite affecting enough. More would blunt it, I think.
But I could be wrong.

I was so hoping that Sean Astin would get nominated. . . oh well. (It was a longshot.)

Also, from the Science & Engineering Awards section:
To Stephen Regelous for the design and development of "Massive," the autonomous agent animation system used for the battle sequences in THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy.
Massive takes a new approach in simulating behaviors of large numbers of computer generated extras (a.k.a.) "agents." Each "agent" contains a primitive software "brain" used to develop behavioral rules simulating a wide range of behaviors. In THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy,over 200,000 agents were controlled in several scenes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Go Massive! I have the hugest crush on it.
I'm really delighted Johnny Depp got a nom for PotC, but come on! No acting for RotK?
