With my 4th pick, I'm proud to select in the Best Supporting Actor category, Denzel Washington for Glory (1989).

[Superflyer]

In the category of Best Supporting Actress I select Kim Basinger in L.A. Confidential.

[Coach]

In the Best Actress category we select Julia Roberts for Erin Brockovich

[liamenator]

I'll take in Best Supporting Actor, one of my favorites, Benicio Del Toro in Traffic.

[Stumptown]

For my 4th pick: Best Actress - 1966 - Elizabeth Taylor - Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

I never used to get the Elizabeth Taylor phenomenon ... until I saw this film. Can't help but think that she and Burton brought a lot of their own private baggage to the screen, but how they both filter it into the characters is really an outstanding display of pure acting ability.

For my 4th pick, Best Picture - 1987 - The Last Emperor

Won nine academy awards in total.

[Prototype]

Jagger, Octo, Proto. Will update thread title later.

[Jagger]

Next up:

Best Original Song:

Streets of Philadelphia

by

Bruce Springsteen

from "Philadelphia"

[octothorp]

In the best Actress Category, I'm going to select Sophia Loren in La Ciociara (English title, Two Women) from 1960. One of the few winners to sweep the Oscar, Cannes, Berlin and Venice awards. Absolutely amazing performance as a protective mother who lives as a refugee during WWII.

Best Picture



Crash - 2005

Taking this, not only cause it was a great movie, but it hilighted what many believed the Academy's dislike for movies about homosexuals. I have never seen Brokeback Mountain, but all the hype heading in was that it was the hands down favourite for Best Movie in 2005. Crash was a longshot, but ended up picking up the hardware.

Best Supporting Actor - Chris Cooper - Adaptation - 2002

I really like Cooper. Think he's fairly underrated.


... you gotta take my name out of the title. It's confusing the crud out of me. Apparently it's been my turn most of the week...

[Displaced Flames fan]

With my 5th pick, I'm going to select Shirley MacLaine for Terms of Endearment for the Best Actress category.

Close call here, with another, more recent winner. I'm going to go with MacLaine though, who is good in everything she does, but was outstanding in this film, which is one of the few movies I can't get through without crying. If you haven't seen the movie, I highly recommend it.

My choice for Best Director - Oliver Stone for Platoon
