Keisha Castle-Hughes, the youngest ever best actress Oscar nominee, says she's had some good advice for the awards show from fellow nominees.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, the final chapter in Peter Jackson’s majestic fantasy trilogy, led the Academy Awards race today with 11 nominations, including best picture and director.

A richly-rewarding New Zealand-set film which has been collecting deserved gongs at festivals around the world, thus proving that 'keep it simple' remains a useful piece of advice.
