And I don't see Munich winning without Spielberg (or at all, really). I just don't see anything else winning... and Brokeback is not the kind of film that would win director only... is it?adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19295440.post-1134128810913141402005-12-09T22:46:00.000+11:002005-12-09T22:46:00.000+11:00Remember when NY randomly awarded The Secret Lives...Remember when NY randomly awarded The Secret Lives of Dentists with Best Screenplay (and Best Actress for Hope Davis alongside her other movie). I wonder if we'll se anything like that.<BR/><BR/>I think Ang Lee is gonna win the Oscar. Brokeback I don't think at the time. Pic/Dir split this year I think. Unless Brokeback can sprint to the finish.Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19295440.post-1134115557750470872005-12-09T19:05:00.000+11:002005-12-09T19:05:00.000+11:00Good call on Joe & Keira...

But I'm sensing that Ang Lee will score big with critics' groups this year. In 2000, they went with Soderbergh and I think now it's his turn. And really, I think he's headed for the oscar as well. They owe him and they know it. <BR/><BR/>I'm feeling strangely confident in Bello for NY. It just seems like where she'd score (but it could be Scarlett... or hell, Rachel McAdams, for all I know).<BR/><BR/>And NY's best actress could be ANYone... they make insane choices in this category... I'm expecting someone along the lines of Kilcher, Linney or Danes, but honestly I think it might be someone even more shocking, like a Cameron Diaz/Hope Davis kind of jawdropper, especially in such a wide open year.adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.com
