I predict LOTR- Return of the King will win Best Picture. I think it deserves to win because all three were magnificent IMO.

I also think Peter Jackson will win Best Director for having the talent and the sand to put all of this together in a coherent manner.

Here is an article:

Charlize will win for Best Actress.

She was fantastic!

I was quite surprised that Jamie Lee Curtis didn't get a nod for Freaky Friday. I didn't even think I'd like the movie, but I did and thought she was absolutely brilliant. I was relieved that Nicole Kidman wasn't nominated, she stunk. And she shouldn't have won last year for The Hours.

But, I'm still bitter over Ellen burstyn not winning for "Requiem For A Dream and Sally Kirkland not winning for "Anna." Two of the best performances in movie history.

I thought she was outstanding in The Others. I've never seen her in anything else except for red carpet walks.

Yeah, she was good in that and "Eyes Wide Shut." But shs stunk to the high heavens in Cold Mountain. The only one to come out of that mess smelling like a rose is Renee. Don't even get me started on Jude Law. U...g...h.

OMG - Sally Kirkland - always an edless source of entertainment on the red carpet. maybe she'll dress this yeat as Ms. Mona from the "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas"

I love her!!!

I know - I like Jude Law, but his talent IMO does not have as much range as the parts in which he is cast demand. He was. however, brilliant in "The Talented Mr. Ripley" - actually, that whole cast was brilliant in that - even they preying mantis esq La Paltrow

I think it's between LOTR and Lost in Translation for best picture. Charlize Theron will win for Monster, for sure and she deserves to. I'm undecided about the actor category. I hope Renee Zellweger doesn't win best supporting actress...is it just me or the other night did she seem kind of phony when she delievered her speech?

I'm upset with the exclusion of Scarlett Johannson for Lost in Translation. I LOVE that film and now I'll be able to watch over and over and over and over as soon as it's released on DVD next Tuesday.

I don't care, Renee is simply amazing in every movie.

She's gorgeous, she kicked ass in Chicago, she *is* Bridget Jones, and Empire Records is a guilty pleasure. As is the Texas Chainsaw Massacre flick she made ten years ago.

And Nurse Betty RAWKED.

Have you seen the "new" version of it? It's even better than the original cut!
