| Thursday March 21st 2002 For lack of anything better to write about this evening, here's my Oscar picks for Sunday: Best Picture - Lord of the Rings Best Actor - Denzel Washington Best Actress - Sissy Spacek Best Supporting Actor - Ian McKellan Best Supporting Actress - Jennifer Connelly Best Director - Ron Howard Animated Feature - Shrek Animated Short Film - Fifty Percent Grey Original Screenplay - Amelie Adapted Screenplay - Lord of the Rings Makeup - Moulin Rouge Original Score - A Beautiful Mind Original Song - "Vanilla Sky" Sound - Black Hawk Down Sound Editing - Pearl Harbor Visual Effects - Lord of the Rings Foreign Language Film - Amelie Art Direction - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone Costume Design - Moulin Rouge Film Editing - Lord of the Rings Documentary Short Subject - Artists and Orphans Short Film, Live Action - Copy Shop Documentary Feature - Children Underground Now I'll go log these in over at the Yahoo Movies Oscars contest and we'll see what happens. Before you think I'm getting all cocky about this, notice my mention on the right about my HSX experience - and I'll admit flat out I'm making some wild guesses in several of these areas. I'm also a little biased toward Lord of the Rings. A couple of those short film categories I'm basing on the fact those are the ones being most widely seen, since you can go watch them right now over at Yahoo!Movies: "Copy Shop" and "Fifty Percent Gray". I'll let you know how this turns out - should be fun(ny?)! |
