Galadriel pulled out of the victory over last year&#8217;s Champ by only 50 votes! Unfortunately for Beorn, the other match-up was not quite as close. Morgoth blew-out Beorn, garnering 60% of the votes. <\/p>\n<p>So it all comes down to this. Will we have our first female character champion? Will an ultimate baddie win for the first time?
