Can Kate Winslet Be Nominated For Best Actress and Supporting Actress? — Page 2

That's cool Addy love. I have no problem calling other guys sexy. See my Johnny Depp comments.

How dare you insult the mentally retarded CKeaton!

I'm not sure about dry Blue Wizard, but this season has been weird because there is no clear front-runner.

I complained last year that Lord of the Rings: Return of the King seemed to have won every category easily, and I hoped that next year wouldn't be as predictable.

I guess I got my wish.

ITA Plum. I mean I love ROTK as much as everyone else, even though it's not my first choice for Best Picture among that group, but every category? Sheesh.

I thought American Splendor had a much better screenplay, House of Sand and Fog and Girl With A Pearl Earring had better cinematography, and both Triplets of Belleville and A Mighty Wind had better songs.

I don't think winning every award (even if there were better movies nominated for that certain category) should be payback just because some people feel that the other two were robbed.

Of course, it's very subjective. Someone else thinks it deserved to win every award, not because of payback, but because they really did deserve it.
To me, actually beliving the movie deserved every win is the only reason why one should want a movie to win every award...not for payback.

BTW, IMO, 2001's Film(s) of the year were ,In the Bedroom and Gosford Park.

I agree - in fact, I actually believed ROTK would win 10 awards, and lose for Best Song. That was the only one that surprised me (although I do love the song -- it helped me cope with a death in my family).

The other award that came less as a surprise and more of a relief was when it won Best Adapted Screenplay; I think the writers did a phenomenal and even miraculous job of condensing Tolkien's tome into a dynamic and wholly cinematic work. It was a tough category, and I was afraid that the writers (Philippa Boyens in particular) wouldn't be recognized. All the other awards it won were pretty much a shoo-in.

In any case, some years you get a sweep and some years you get a lot of indecision. What I find interesting about this year is that, since not one of the films has stood out of the pack, we're gonna be arguing for a long time about what was the best film of 2004.

My vote is for The Incredibles & Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
