-Oscars- Let's play "guess the winners"
Now I'm yet to even see half of the nominated films, directors, actors, etc. for this year's Academy Awards, but I just wanted to strike up some guesses to who *you guys* think will be winning.
So lets do this. I'll copy/paste the nominee list. Put an X next to what you think will win, and a * next to the things you havn't seen to let others know that while you might have a favorite, you are yet to be able to fully compare it to the rest of the year's nominees. EDIT: I'm doing mine now and it's kind of a hassle to do the whole star thing. Just mark the winner if you want ;) Just copy/paste the list below into your post and go for it. Get it? Lets roll. I'll start BEST PICTURE (X)THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING LOST IN TRANSLATION *MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD MYSTIC RIVER *SEABISCUIT ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE Johnny Depp - PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL (X)Ben Kingsley - HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG *Jude Law - COLD MOUNTAIN Bill Murray - LOST IN TRANSLATION (X)Sean Penn - MYSTIC RIVER ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE *Alec Baldwin - THE COOLER *Benicio Del Toro - 21 GRAMS *Djimon Hounsou - IN AMERICA (X)Tim Robbins - MYSTIC RIVER *Ken Watanabe - THE LAST SAMURAI ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE Keisha Castle-Hughes - WHALE RIDER Diane Keaton - SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE Samantha Morton - IN AMERICA Charlize Theron - MONSTER Naomi Watts - 21 GRAMS ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE Shohreh Aghdashloo - HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG Patricia Clarkson - PIECES OF APRIL Marcia Gay Harden - MYSTIC RIVER Holly Hunter - THIRTEEN Renée Zellweger - COLD MOUNTAIN ANIMATED FEATURE FILM BROTHER BEAR (X)FINDING NEMO THE TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE ART DIRECTION *GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING *THE LAST SAMURAI (X)THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING *MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD *SEABISCUIT CINEMATOGRAPHY (X)CITY OF GOD *COLD MOUNTAIN *GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING *MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD *SEABISCUIT COSTUME DESIGN GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING THE LAST SAMURAI (X)THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD SEABISCUIT DIRECTING CITY OF GOD (X)THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING LOST IN TRANSLATION *MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD MYSTIC RIVER DOCUMENTARY FEATURE *BALSEROS *CAPTURING THE FRIEDMANS (X)THE FOG OF WAR *MY ARCHITECT *THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND DOCUMENTARY SHORT SUBJECT ASYLUM CHERNOBYL HEART FERRY TALES FILM EDITING (X)CITY OF GOD COLD MOUNTAIN (X)THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD SEABISCUIT FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM THE BARBARIAN INVASIONS EVIL THE TWILIGHT SAMURAI TWIN SISTERS ŽELARY MAKEUP (X)THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING *MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL MUSIC (SCORE) Hmm, this is a hard one.

I did all the big ones. It is inevitably a mix of who I want to win and who I think will win.

I really think LOTR is going to do quite well.
As for the animated film, as much as I would love for a small film like Triplets of Belleville to win, Im pretty sure Finding Nemo is going to take it. |
Yeah I too feel a sweep coming. ;) This is the first time since I can remember that I've been excited for the awards. So much talent in all categories.
|
The New Zealander in me wants to see Keisha Castle-Hughes win best Actoress, but i really doubt that that would ever be possible.
All the media here think that she's a shoe-in, however. |
A few of the lesser known catagories are wild guesses, but I figured why not make 'em.

You know, I was gonna go through and do all this, but in doing so I realized I've only seen 2 Oscar nominated films this year - Return of the King and Finding Nemo. So, I wish for Return of the King to win everything it's nominated for and I could care less about everything else.
I guess I just don't care that much :lol: |
All I can say is, if ROTK loses best picture to lost in translation, its a crime against humanity. Lost in Translation almost put me to sleep, I really don't see why its getting all this popularity all of the sudden.

I've seen even less nominated movies than SM70, and probabaly can't get the channel clear enough to enjoy the Oscars for long, so I will just vote for all things ROTK, and the song "Belleville Rendez-vous" from The Tripplets of Belleville, if it's the one I'm thinking about. |
LOTR baby! Woohooo! I just won myself a free gormet pizza at a local retaurant from predicting the winners lastnight with my girlfriend. I'd like to thank the Academy..... ;)
|
How many did you have to guess right? I only got 15/24. I never would have guessed a clean sweep by LOTR. Even if it did deserve it.
|
got 16/24...placed 5th in a contest...oh well
|
well i hardly got any right.
wonder if they'll start giving awards for body of work more regularly now. |
