1) Movie magic?
2) LOL.

1. Some time passes between the scene at the black gate and the coronation. It looks kingly I guess.

Gandalf beat down Denethor to assert that he was greater, and that Denethor was a lowly steward. I wish they had included Gandalf saying that he is a steward as well (steward of nature).
