Considering Jackson marched an army of elves a couple hundred miles through enemy-held territory filled with 10,000 orcs without anyone noticing, sure, why not. In Jackson's warped universe, Galadriel and Celeborn's forces obviously were not needed to battle the orkish invasion taking place from Dol Guldur that required a united Elven attack from Thranduil and Celeborn's armies to defeat (part of an all-encompassing Sauronian battle plan that included a related Easterling invasion of Dale/Erebor).
But hey, a bizarre premise deserves further bizarre extrapolation further back into history. Simple minds make no effort at nuance or big picture strategy, and simply throw any amount of crap on a wall, hoping something will stick.
