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.
