I tried something else but it didn't work so I'm trying this now, my Academy Award(tm) picks:
1. Best Movie--Crouching Tiger
2.Best Actor, only saw Gladiator and CastAway, have to pick Hanks, although Crowe was good enough, don't really feel strong about this one. But only the CastAway part with no dialogue (could be the worst script of any major movie this year.) The deciding factor was the dentistry by iceskate. Pretty crappy movie really, but it was hot that day.
3.Best Actress, the toughest choice by far and I don't think I can pick between Burnstyn, Allen, and Linney, although that's the order Ima stick with.
4.Best Supporting Actor--Bridges or Del Toro, equal, Bridges played a great president. Let's give it to him.
5.Supporting actress--Kate Hudson
6.Director--Ang Lee
7.Best Screenplay (Direct)--Cameron Crowe, Ken Longeran, another tough one, but in that order.
8.Best Screenplay (previous publish--Steve Kloves for Wonder Boys. The only flick I've really liked Michael Douglas in.
And although I can see why most people thought The Cell sucked, I really enjoyed the visuals--let's give it Best Makeup

    • I'm getting bold font too, I am a clone/windows/IE5 user if that is useful at all to Jim.

    • No, that's a screw up. Sorry. I can't see it in IE. I'll try something now, and tell me if it helps any. (Well, give me a minute or two if you're actually watching.) [Did that help? I hope so. I'm going to dinner. I'll try more later if it's still messed up. Sorry.]

  • I didn't see it, I think it was this year, is that the one with Billy Crudup ?sp?, the evil redneck in Boys Don't Cry, and if so, I saw him in a NO made indie by local woman, but script was a little weak. And of course the AWards are a joke but I enjoy the mainstream, because it is for me, as I'm fond of saying, a good reference point. But you NYKers keep up the good work keeping me informed on worthy major indies (not to many obscure flicks make it here, except for that brief film festival)This year's best Dmtree reference award goes to Wheel for Requiem for a Dream, a close second, Jim for Crouching Tiger.
