This wasn't really an "Oscar" movie...

...so I doubt seriously that RA's chances were hurt by his appearance. And the only people that I've seen criticizing the dwarves' looks were book fans, not critics (critics want to bash the length and pace of the film). I doubt he would have received an Oscar nomination with a longer beard, or grayer hair. This movie, while I loved it enormously, has some failings- mainly due to the fact that it is a set-up story, and lacks the urgency and impact of the middle (or even conclusion) of this story. There's a lot of backstory to be told, so it was never going to be the best of the three films.

Do you think they could have still made the Dwarves appealing

Exactly. In LOTR, Gimli stood out.

In Brian Sibley's book, the Official Movie Guide, he talks about the size

Absolutely. The talent to pull it off is there, from acting and writing to design, and everything in-between.
