2004 Academy Award predicitons
Best Picture
LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING LOST IN TRANSLATION MASTER & COMMANDER MYSTIC RIVER SEABISCUIT I pick Mystic River, this was probably the best acted movie all around in a long long time. There was not one bad actor in it, and the story was solid. The movie leaves an effect on you unline anything else this year. Achievement in Directing Fernando Meirelles for CITY OF GOD Peter Jackson for THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING Peter Weir for MASTER & COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD Sofia Coppola for LOST IN TRANSLATION Clint Eastwood for MYSTIC RIVER I pick Peter Jackson, although I don't think he deserves it for Return of The King, he will get it for the whole trilogy. Best Actor in a Leading Role Johnny Depp in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL Ben Kingsley in HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG Jude Law in COLD MOUNTAIN Bill Murray in LOST IN TRANSLATION Sean Penn in MYSTIC RIVER I pick Sean Penn for Mystic River, I would describe his performance as towering. This is a tough call as EVERY one of the nominees were amazing. Best Supporting Actor Alec Baldwin in THE COOLER Benicio Del Toro in 21 GRAMS Djimon Hounsou in IN AMERICA Tim Robbins in MYSTIC RIVER Ken Watanabe in LAST SAMURAI My picks is Tim Robbins he was just simply outstanding in this movie, the vampire part was just great. Best Actress in a Leading Role Keisha Castle-Hughes in WHALE RIDER Diane Keaton in SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE Samantha Morton in IN AMERICA Charlize Theron in MONSTER Naomi Watts in 21 GRAMS My pick is Charlize Theron, I don't need to explain, although I haven't seen Whale Rider yet, I would say my vote would still be the same. Best Supporting Actress Shohreh Aghdashloo in HOUSE OF SAND & FOG Patricia Clarkson in PIECES OF APRIL Marcia Gay Harden in MYSTIC RIVER Holly Hunter in THIRTEEN Renee Zellwegger in COLD MOUNTAIN My pick is Marcia Gay Harden she was just very "mystic" in this movie and I really liked it a lot. Best Original Screenplay THE BARBARIAN INVASIONS by Denys Arcand DIRTY PRETTY THINGS by Steven Knight FINDING NEMO by Andrew Stanton, Bob Peterson, David Reynolds IN AMERICA Written by Jim Sheridan, Naomi Sheridan and Kirsten Sheridan LOST IN TRANSLATION by Sofia Coppola I pick Lost In Translation Best Adapted Screenplay AMERICAN SPLENDOR by Robert Pulcini and Shari Springer Berman CITY OF GOD by Braulio Mantovani THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING by Philippa Boyens, Fran Walsh, Peter Jackson MYSTIC RIVER by Brian Helgeland SEABISCUIT by Gary Ross I pick Mystic River |
