On Saturday, January 5th, at 8PM, on CBS, the AFI Awards are on and “Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” is up for the following nominations…
AFI MOVIE OF THE YEAR
Barrie M. Osborne, Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, Tim Sanders, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, (New Line) “LORD OF THE RINGS taps the magical forces of American film to bring life to J.R.R. Tolkien’s rich literary legacy. Never losing sight of the “human” elements of this first book in his trilogy, the scope of the film sets the standard by which future motion picture epics should be judged.”
AFI PRODUCTION DESIGNER OF THE YEAR
Grant Major, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, (New Line)
AFI DIGITAL EFFECTS ARTIST OF THE YEAR
Jim Rygiel, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, (New Line)
AFI COMPOSER OF THE YEAR
Howard Shore, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, (New Line)
