This comment was made in one of the articles I was reading and I couldn't agree more.........

Most Overlooked of the Evening, Part 1: Poor Frodo, Samwise, Gandalf, Legolas, Arwen, and the rest of the incredibly talented stars of the "The Lord of the Rings." Not only did the Academy ignore their acting contributions, but the film's many winners chose to thank them with a general "the cast" attribution rather than individual accolades. It's enough to make even Gimli cry like a little girl.
