Signs

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE
The Hours
Far From Heaven
Frida
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Road to Perdition

But what if you�re hopelessly tone deaf?
25th Hour
Gangs of New York
SOMETHING by John Williams (Minority Report, Harry Potter, or Star Wars)

(If there were justice in the world, Solaris� ambient, creepy score would be nominated, as would Charlie Mole�s delightful ragtime score for The Importance of Being Earnest, and the weird noise-filled score for Punch-Drunk Love, which so perfectly captured its protagonist�s sense of anxiety. But none of these films were huge successes and will probably be overlooked.)

BEST ORIGINAL SONG
Bjork, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Eminem, 8 Mile
Paul Simon, The Wild Thornberrys Movie
Bruce Springsteen, 25th Hour
U2, Gangs of New York (a pretty solid bet)

But doesn�t the F&SN Critic listen to dead weirdos like Vivaldi, Mozart, and The Beatles?
Miscellaneous teeny-bopper boy band, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

I�m not willing to guess in the following categories:
Best Short Subject
Best Short Subject � Animated
Best Short Subject � Documentary
Best Documentary
Although it�s a pretty safe bet �Bowling for Columbine� will pop up in the latter.

And that�s it. You can take my advice when placing your bets, or not.

But I don�t gamble. I don�t even hear the ball spinning on the roulette wheel anymore.
