Indeed. He has been denied an oscar for too long. If he doesn't get it, I say we attack at dawn.

I, on the other hand, am a big fan of Russell Crowe. i wanted to see Master and Commander but I never got around to it so I will have to wait until it comes out on DVD.

well, i failed to catch master and commander, but apparently it was both great and totally falsely marketed with the trailers that made it look like an action film (gladiator at sea) when it was actually a slow paced character driven drama. trailers lie...

 

My choices:

 

Best Motion Picture

Lost in Translation - Totally overhyped, only saved by bill murray

Master and Commander - wish i had seen it, meant to

Mystic River - wish i had seen it, meant to

Seabiscuit - GOD NO! hollywood schmaltz

Winner: The Return of the King, The - 2nd best film of the year, but deserves if for the trilogy as a whole.

 

Best Actor

Johnny Depp - Nearly, very good

Ben Kingsley - not seen

Jude Law - seeing at weekend

Sean Penn - wish i had seen it, meant to

Winner: Bill Murray - Yep, nearly saves the film

 

Best Actress:

- Haven't seen a single one of these films, and i bet 95% of the rest of the world hasn't either, shows how few good roles there were for women in mainstream films.

 

Supporting Actor:

Alec Baldwin for Cooler, The - not seen

Benicio Del Toro for 21 Grams - not seen

Djimon Hounsou for In America - not seen

Tim Robbins for Mystic River - wish i had seen it, meant to

Winner: Ken Watanabe for Last Samurai Yep, nearly saves the film

 

Supporting Actress:

Shohreh Aghdashloo for House of Sand and Fog - not seen

Patricia Clarkson for Pieces of April - not seen

Marcia Gay Harden for Mystic River - wish i had seen it, meant to

Holly Hunter for Thirteen - not seen

Renée Zellweger for Cold Mountain - seeing at weekend

Winner: Miranda Otto for LOTR - why is she not nominated????

 

Director

Sofia Coppola for Lost in Translation - overhyped

Clint Eastwood for Mystic River - wish i had seen it, meant to (but clint rules!)

Fernando Meirelles for Cidade de Deus - not seen

Peter Weir for Master and Commander - wish i had seen it, meant to

Winner: Peter Jackson for The Return of the King - damn right!! no one else had better win this

 

Screenplay:

Winner: Finding nemo

 

I assume Kill Bill is being considered next year, after part 2 comes out?? I'd say it was a better film than ROTK, but rotk still deserves it as an award for the trilogy as a whole.

Uma Thurman would then get best lead actress, and Sonny Chiba should get a best supporting actor nomination for his role in Kill bill as well.

 

also, LOTR should probably get best original score, and Kill Bill best soundtrack.
