As far as none of the actors getting nominations, they were never competing with each other to see who was the best actor in LOTR. I think they all gave everything they had, except Elrond, who merely needed to act constipated. Or maybe that was all he had to give.

It really was a team effort, although the commanding officers got individual recognition. When the level of performance by the actors was so uniformly excellent, how do you pick one to be nominated as "the best"? Besides, they had to leave something for the lesser movies out there.
