THE LORD OF THE RINGS
The owner of the most nominations in February almost always takes home Best Picture in March, and "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is loaded down with 13 — not to mention more than $250 million in box-office loot. It's a lock for Best Pointy Ears, Best Shortening of Ian Holm, and Best Straight Face When Delivering Ridiculous Lines — oh, and put down Ian McKellen for Best Supporting Wizard — but a wise Academy looks elsewhere for its most prized prizes.
