It's terribly early, so it's hard to do this, but let's test our film industy knowledge. Lots of good nominees this year. We will pick only the major categories, unless people are interested in doing the animated shorts, animated feature, and the documentaries, too (for what it's worth, I think they are already foregone conclusions, but who knows?}). And the nominees are: Best Picture The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Lost in Translation Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World Mystic River Seabiscuit Actor Johnny Depp, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Ben Kingsley, House of Sand and Fog Jude Law, Cold Mountain Bill Murray, Lost in Translation Sean Penn, Mystic River Actress Keisha Castle-Hughes, Whale Rider Diane Keaton, Something's Gotta Give Samantha Morton, In America Charlize Theron, Monster Naomi Watts, 21 Grams Supporting Actor Alec Baldwin, The Cooler Benicio Del Toro, 21 Grams Djimon Hounsou, In America Tim Robbins, Mystic River Ken Watanabe, The Last Samurai Supporting Actress Shohreh Aghdashloo, House of Sand and Fog Patricia Clarkson, Pieces of April Marcia Gay Harden, Mystic River Holly Hunter, thirteen Renee Zellweger, Cold Mountain Director Fernando Meirelles, City of God Peter Jackson, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Sofia Coppola, Lost in Translation Peter Weir, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World Clint Eastwood, Mystic River Adapted Screenplay Robert Pulcini & Shari Springer Berman, American Splendor Braulio Mantovani, City of God Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens & Peter Jackson, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Brian Helgeland, Mystic River Gary Ross, Seabiscuit Original Screenplay Denys Arcand, The Barbarian Invasions Steven Knight, Dirty Pretty Things Andrew Stanton, Bob Peterson and David Reynolds, Finding Nemo Jim Sheridan & Naomi Sheridan & Kirsten Sheridan, In America Sofia Coppola, Lost in Translation Cinematography City of God Cold Mountain Girl with a Pearl Earring Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World Seabiscuit

Here are my early guesses Best Picutre: LOTR, return of the King Actor: Sean Penn [Possible Upset: Bill Murray} Actress: Charlize Theron. Supporting Actor: Djimon Hounsou. Maybe Tim Robbins Supporting Actress: Renee Zellweger Director: Clint Eastwood Adapted Screenplay: Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens & Peter Jackson, LOTR Original Screenplay: Finding Nemo Cinematography: Cold Mountain Narrative: Industry is self-congratulatory for giving nominations to Lost in Translation [woman director, dynastic filmmaking] but refuses to reward it with anything. [Lost in Translation, while not the BEST film of last year, was my favorite film.] Zellweger gets the award some think she deserved last year, but for a weaker, scenery chewing performance. Sean Penn finally receives recognition for what he has long been: a great actor. For Mystic River alone he deserves to win, but he was amazing in 21 Grams, also (the academy found it too strange, but they expect that from del Toro). If he loses, it will be for two reasons--aversion to another "Michael Moore" incident and affection for Bill Murray. Charlize Theron is, quite simply, in an actorly class by herself. That narrative is likely to change as we approach the awards themselves.

Did Eastwood win a Director Oscar for Unforgiven? If so, I may have to change my prediction.

OK, well I change my Director prediction to the LOTR guy. For some reason, I thought Clint had lost for Unforgiven.
