Normally, I am very opinionated about this topic. However, this year is different because 1. I have yet to see a lot of the nominated films and 2. I do not think this has been a great year for films as compared to previous years. It reminds me of the weak year in 1995 when The English Patient had all of the hype.
I will say that I hope Bowling for Columbine gets Best Documentary and the late Conrad Hall wins for Best Cinematography. Isn’t it ironic that I recently watched both of those film’s Academy screener DVDs?
I hope Bill the Butcher wins, but I’m not counting on it. And I want Walken to win, if for no better reason than to hear his acceptance speech.
