[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 50448, member: 2067"] I can just "feel" the "GIMMIE AN OSCAR!" vibe from A Beautiful Mind, and I think it'll take Best Picture. LotR will walk away with a few, and will only get more as the trilogy comes to a close...but both it and Moulin Rouge are "wierd flicks," whereas A Beautiful Mind seems to be more the shameless Oscar butt-kissin' that wins these things. Crowe probably won't win best actor, but the movie will win, and maybe Opee will take away a statue. Basically, count LotR for all the categories that don't matter, but none of the ones who do. There are far more pandering films out there that will win. Far more "jerk their heart strings" kinds of flicks. Moulin Rouge is a quirky film, so it might upset a few LotR categories. But A Beautiful Mind seems to be the darling this year, because it was *factory-generated* for an Oscar, whereas Moulin Rouge was seemingly made on a dare, and LotR was made on a gamble. A Beautiful Mind seems...safe....so it'll wallk away with the big ones. But, then again, much of the Oscars have lost meaning to me after seeing Titanic sweep it. That pretty much ripped the credibility from it, IMHO. The English Patient was another Beautiful-Mind-esque made-for-statues flick, so I'm not surprised or upset. And I think that A Beautiful Mind will walk away with Best Picture. It's safe. [/QUOTE]
