I think it's ridiculous to think that Viggo stands more of a chance than Elijah based on ROTK. I don't think Elijah stands a chance, but I think he has more of a chance than Viggo simply because people(thanks to the ridiculous over hype) were expecting more from him. He was considered a lead for most of the year, now he is barely a supporting candidate.
As for Sean, it could happen, but I somehow doubt it. I think most people know that while his performance was very good, it was NOT the most difficult or demanding. And I don't know that many are going to forget the "chubby sidekick" thing.
Ian might be the best hope. He's gotten a lot of critical praise for this role and should not be counted out.
Regardless of who has a chance or not, I'm glad to see New Line pushing Elijah.
