Yeah, Tolkien was known for his extensive use of diacritics, and he'd put them in varying places, suggesting that they were more for esthetic value than anything else. The accute accent in Gollum's old name would suggest you'd pronounce it :"SMAY-uh-gol". However, Tolkien himself pronounce it "SMEE-gol" or "SMEE-AH-GOL", so thats why they pronounce it like that in the movies.
(and yeah, I found the extract from the script on the web)

Interesting.
I actually hated that scene in the movie. It's already a funny scene in the book and it just felt to me like they tried to over play both characters - which was a problem throughout the whole movie. Peter Jackson have a very low view of the intelligence of the target audience for his movies.
