There's no question that Perlman pulled off Hellboy beyond the ability of just about anybody I could imagine in that role. He was spectacular in bringing that big red lunkhead to life.

I also think more actors from throughout the LOTR series should have been nominated for acting awards. I think Sean Astin should have received a supporting nod for ROTK, maybe Elijah Wood for ROTK (although I think Astin was better) or TTT, etc.

But I've gotta say that I did like the casting of Faramir in TTT/ROTK unlike somebody in another thread stated.

Mystic River was far superior to ROTK and should have taken the award. Even Lost in Translation should have been given the nod over ROTK. But hey, that's what these damn awards are all about, isn't it? Opinions.
