The cast and crew of LORD OF THE RINGS: FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING are planning to make OSCARS night 2002 extra special by conjuring up a “big surprise.”

The movie’s costume and make-up expert RICHARD TAYLOR, who was nominated for three of the film’s 13 Oscar nods on Tuesday, admits the crew are considering what to do to turn the awards show into a Middle Earth extravaganza.

He says, “We’re still coming to terms with the achievement of picking up 13 nominations but I know ELIJAH (WOOD) and the stars and PETER (JACKSON) will want to do something special on the night.

“We might all turn up in costume or ride up on horseback. I’m sure it will be a big surprise.”

An Oscar-nominee for his portrayal of Gandalf, happily in love and looking forward to a stint on US TV, Ian McKellen has achieved a perfect balance of personal and professional contentment. [More]
