The Lord of the Rings is high on my list as well as johnny depp some of the films I haven't even seen so who you hopeing for to win



[Edited on 29-2-2004 by SE7EN]

Would like to see Bill Murray walk home with one. Too bad Jonny Depp is going to win. I hope A Mighty Wind wins best song.

I'm only gonna watch for the fashions.

would be good to see Bill Murray win i think he needs it

LOTR will own alle


LOTR UBER ALLES!

Ok I'll split this into two. The ones that SHOULD win, and the ones that WILL win because hollywood has no backbone.

JOHN NADA'S CHOICE:

Lost In Translation

Best Director:
Fernando Meirelles

Best Actor:
Bill Murray

Best Actress:
Naomi Watts

Lost in Translation

Best music (score):

WHAT WILL MOST LIKELY WIN:

Best Director:
Peter Jackson (same reasons, and where the hell is Sofia Coppola?)

Best Actor:
Johnny Depp (please god let it be Murray)

Best Actress:
Diane Keaton

Best Supporting Actor:
Benicio Del Toro (although they may decide to give it to Ken Watanabe so that he can have exposure before he does the new Batman film, which is very possible)

Well there you go, so many films have been over looked as usual, must be because they're too "arty" or some crap like that.
