Anyone know who did the voice of Gollum in the animated movies? It fit what I
thought his voice sounded like very well.

Isn't Galadriel supposed to be the most beautiful woman in Middle-Earth? No

person listed that I think would make a good Galadriel is Cate Blanchett,
although my personal choice would be Daryl Hannah. :)
