Film What if the Best Picture Nominees from this year's Oscars were adapted for television:

"Sean Astin's Samwise Gamgee takes centerstage in this new series, inspired by the classic Tolkien trilogy. In the pilot episode, Gamgee returns to the Shire from a berry-picking expedition to find his home ransacked and his good friend Frodo murdered! A grief-stricken Gamgee wonders how to avenge his friend -- and is visited by the spectral spirit of Gandalf (special guest star Donald Sutherland), who reveals the existence of a heretofore unknown Super Ring. The ring imbues its wearer with catlike agility, superior strength, and lightning reflexes -- just the combination for kicking serious Orc butt!"
