And The Academy Award Nominations Are...

ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE Johnny Depp - PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL Ben Kingsley - HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG Jude Law - COLD MOUNTAIN Bill Murray - LOST IN TRANSLATION Sean Penn - MYSTIC RIVER

Ya know... Having Ed Wood, Don Logan, Gigolo Joe, Dr. Peter Venkman and Jeff Spicoli all nominated warms my heart. Personally, I'm pulling for Ed or Venkman! I just wish Harvey Pekar were in the running!

ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE Alec Baldwin - THE COOLER Benicio Del Toro - 21 GRAMS Djimon Hounsou - IN AMERICA Tim Robbins - MYSTIC RIVER Ken Watanabe - THE LAST SAMURAI

While I would have loved to have seen Sean Astin get his nomination here, he doesn't need it to be remembered, that character won't be forgotten anytime soon. Out of this group, I'd throw the Oscar to Benicio, his was my fave of those 5. Where's Sonny Chiba? Heh.

ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE Keisha Castle-Hughes - WHALE RIDER Diane Keaton - SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE Samantha Morton - IN AMERICA Charlize Theron - MONSTER Naomi Watts - 21 GRAMS

Well... Damn, the automatic Nicole Kidman nomination didn't come through. MUTHERFUCKERS DIDN"T NOMINATE SCARLETT!!!!! Ahem. However, while the easy money is on Charlize for MONSTER - watch out for Keisha Castle-Hughes, she could be a spoiler here!

ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE Shohreh Aghdashloo - HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG Patricia Clarkson - PIECES OF APRIL Marcia Gay Harden - MYSTIC RIVER Holly Hunter - THIRTEEN RenÃ©e Zellweger - COLD MOUNTAIN

Wow, really wasn't expecting Shohreh Aghdashloo. Personally, I was kinda pulling for an outside nomination for Shaheen Khan in BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM. I never can pick the Supporting Actress category though. They tend to defy convention in picking the winner here.

ANIMATED FEATURE FILM BROTHER BEAR FINDING NEMO THE TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE

I bet TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE pulls out a win here. I love FINDING NEMO too, but the fact this picked up an additional nomination shows a level of support that is surprising. Shame that MILLENIUM ACTRESS didn't pick up that wasted BROTHER BEAR spot.

ART DIRECTION GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING THE LAST SAMURAI THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD SEABISCUIT

Kinda wish BIG FISH was in this. My favorite touch of Art Direction this year was that grassy street town. Really lovely. That being said, all 5 of these films deserve their nominations completely.

CINEMATOGRAPHY CITY OF GOD COLD MOUNTAIN GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD SEABISCUIT

COSTUME DESIGN GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING THE LAST SAMURAI THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD SEABISCUIT

Well - I hope Ngila Dickson didn't jinx herself for being nominated twice in the same category for her work on THE LAST SAMURAI and RETURN OF THE KING. Her samurai armor was exquisite though!

DIRECTING Fernando Meirelles - CITY OF GOD Peter Jackson - THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING Sofia Coppola - LOST IN TRANSLATION Peter Weir - MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD Clint Eastwood - MYSTIC RIVER

DOCUMENTARY FEATURE BALSEROS CAPTURING THE FRIEDMANS THE FOG OF WAR MY ARCHITECT THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND

I'm dying to see THE FOG OF WAR - I have seen the others, but I'm very very pleased with this list. I'm very very pleased to see CAPTURING THE FRIEDMANS get the nomination, but I think that Errol Morris and FOG OF WAR will win.

DOCUMENTARY SHORT SUBJECT ASYLUM CHERNOBYL HEART FERRY TALES

FILM EDITING CITY OF GOD COLD MOUNTAIN THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD SEABISCUIT

CITY OF GOD should win this. The editing in that film is astonishing. Really powerful. SEABISCUIT would be my second pick in this category.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM THE BARBARIAN INVASIONS - Canada EVIL - Sweden THE TWILIGHT SAMURAI - Japan TWIN SISTERS - The Netherlands ?ELARY - Czech Republic

Haven't seen EVIL, but I've seen the other 4 - by far TWILIGHT SAMURAI is the best film. It is absolutely tremendous. That's why it appeared in my top ten this year. An absolutely brilliant film. Perhaps this will get distribution over here... and not be edited to shit or dubbed!

MAKEUP THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL

Just give this to Weta now!

MUSIC (SCORE) Danny Elfman - BIG FISH Gabriel Yared - COLD MOUNTAIN Thomas Newman - FINDING NEMO James Horner - HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG Howard Shore - THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING

Give this to Howard Shore. I really do love James Horner's score for HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG though.

Oh man - Give this to TRIPLETS OF BELLVILLE!!! God I love that song!

BEST PICTURE THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING LOST IN TRANSLATION MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD MYSTIC RIVER SEABISCUIT

Personally, as soon as I had heard those other nominations for CITY OF GOD, I kinda expected it to somehow pull out a nomination here. That would have ruled all! That said. The King will Reign!

SHORT FILM (ANIMATED) BOUNDIN' DESTINO GONE NUTTY HARVIE KRUMPET NIBBLES

Oh God, Please.... Please give it to DESTINO so Roy Disney can take the stage and call for Eisner's head. Please. Please give it to Roy Disney and the spirit of Dali and Walt. Please!

SHORT FILM (LIVE ACTION) DIE ROTE JACKE (The Red Jacket) MOST (The Bridge) SQUASH (A) TORZIJA ([A] Torsion) TWO SOLDIERS

I have no idea

SOUND THE LAST SAMURAI THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL SEABISCUIT

Oliphaunt scene wins. Though KILL BILL VOL 1 owned all the above.

SOUND EDITING FINDING NEMO MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL

Um, this should go to FINDING NEMO - they edit bubble noises real good. Oh, and fuck you Academy for no KILL BILL VOL 1 nom in this category!

VISUAL EFFECTS THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL

I love ILM's Zombie Pirate Skeletons, but I love Shelob, big oliphaunts stomping, fell beasts and Gollum more.

WRITING (ADAPTED SCREENPLAY) Robert Pulcini & Shari Springer Berman - AMERICAN SPLENDOR Braulio Mantovani - CITY OF GOD Fran Walsh, Queen of the Geeks & Peter Jackson - THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING Brian Helgeland - MYSTIC RIVER Gary Ross - SEABISCUIT

I so want to see Queen of the Geeks take the mike, but personally, I believe that AMERICAN SPLENDOR is gonna grab this one. Though idiots may give it to MYSTIC RIVER.

WRITING (ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY) Denys Arcand - THE BARBARIAN INVASIONS Steven Knight - DIRTY PRETTY THINGS Andrew Stanton, Bob Peterson & David Reynolds - FINDING NEMO Jim Sheridan & Naomi Sheridan & Kirsten Sheridan -IN AMERICA Sofia Coppola - LOST IN TRANSLATION

Sofia will win. This is the award she gets, that and Bill Murray's Best Actor win.

Overall - a pretty good job. Would have loved to have seen AMERICAN SPLENDOR in there instead of MYSTIC RIVER. But that's due to my obsession with that film!
