There are already a lot of Oscar winners working on The Hobbit<\/em>. Soon there might be one more. When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the 2011 nominees, Bret McKenzie (“Figwit” in The Lord of the Rings<\/em> and Lindir\"\"<\/a> in The Hobbit<\/em>) turned up in the “Music (Original Song)” category for his “Man or Muppet” from The Muppets<\/em>. Congratulations and good luck to Bret! The Oscars will be awarded on February 26.<\/p>\n

By the way, the highest number of nominations went to Martin Scorsese’s Hugo<\/em>. Like The Return of the King<\/em>, it bagged eleven–also without a single actor nomination. The parallel isn’t complete, since Hugo<\/em> made it into two categories that ROTK didn’t, Sound Editing and Cinematography. It was not in two categories that ROTK won, Makeup and Original Song.<\/p>\n
