Here is a message from ARR and Kevin Wallace, the producer of the Lord of the Rings. Please cast your vote in all categories. There is no category for Best Composer. The near equivalent is Best New Musical, for which ARR is nominated. Please cast your vote for ALL categories in which LOTR is nominated. Multiple votes are not counted, so it's essential that everyone of us votes. And this is not a website poll. This is a popular choice award. Please spread the message to others that know as well.
