For the second film in his take on J.R.R. Tolkien’s series of novels, Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers brought Gollum to vivid life through CGI and the remarkable motion capture work of Andy Serkis.  This innovative use of technology made Gollum’s character sympathetic and frightening in ways that some thought CGI couldn’t be.  It also opened the debate to when performers would be Oscar nominees for motion capture work.  The Two Towers also features the epic storytelling that made the first film a tremendous hit and the third film a multiple Oscar winner, cementing this as one of the most successful trilogies in film history.
