BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring may have earned a leading 13 Academy Award nominations yesterday, but the fantasy epic faces a hurdle in a best-picture race against a more traditional drama, A Beautiful Mind.
Lord of the Rings is last year's No. 2 box-office hit. But fantasies have rarely been taken seriously by Oscar voters, and an otherworldly epic such as the first film installment of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic has never won best picture.
A Beautiful Mind — tied with Moulin Rouge for second place with eight nominations — is the sort of heavy drama members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences often favor. A
'Lord of the Rings'an Oscar underdog
Beautiful Mind beat Lord of the Rings for top dramatic honors at last month's Golden Globes.
Among nominations for Lord of the Rings were best picture, Peter Jackson for best director and supporting actor for Ian McKellen, while A Beautiful Mind received nominations for best picture, director Ron Howard, actor Russell Crowe and supporting actress Jennifer Connellly.
Other best-picture contenders are Robert Altman's Gosford Park, In the Bedroom and Moulin Rouge.
Besides Howard, Jackson and Altman, best-director picks were David Lynch for Mullholland Drive and Ridley Scott for Black Hawk Down.
Lord of the Rings may be positioned to dominate the technical
categories come Oscar night Mar. 24. The film's nominations include cinematography, costume design, editing, makeup and visual effects.
Joining Berry in the best-actress field are Judi Dench in Iris, Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge, Sissy Spacek in In the Bedroom and Renee Zellweger in Bridget Jones's Diary.

Along with Crowe, the leadactor category includes two black actors for the first time, Will Smith in Ali and Denzel Washington in Training Day. With Halle Berry nominated for Monster's Ball, it was the first time since 1972 that three blacks were nominated in the lead-acting categories.
Other best-actor nominees are Sean Penn in I Am Sam and Tom Wilkinson in In the Bedroom.
