Art
Direction
Pick: Gladiator.
Why: The Colisseum was AWESOME. Nuff said. |
|
Cinematography
Pick: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Why: The sweeping camera work on the graceful rooftop/treetop
fights will beat out the graphic clashes of Gladiator.
|
|
Costume
Design
Pick: Quills
Why: It was a beautiful film, and I think voters will want
to acknowledge it with at least one award. |
|
Documentary:
Feature
Pick: Sound and Fury
Why: I'm going with this one because it generated the strongest
emotions at Sundance when it was screened, even though Into the
Arms of Strangers had a theatrical release. |
|
Documentary:
Short Subject
Pick: The Man on Lincoln's Nose
Why: Honestly, I like the title. Otherwise, I haven't a clue.
|
|
Film
Editing
Pick: Traffic
Why: Of all the nominees, this was the film most reliant on
good editing, and looked like the most difficult task for an editor.
|
|
Makeup
Pick: Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Why: I hated the Whos, but I have to admit that they looked
great. Making Jim Carrey look like the Grinch deserves an Oscar.

|
Original
Score
Pick: Gladiator
Why: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was a close second,
but this score stays with you longer. |
|
Original
Song
Pick: Wonder Boys
Why: Because who wouldn't want to see Bob Dylan win
an Oscar? Maybe Soy Bomb will be there! |
|
Short
Film: Animated
Pick: Rejected
Why: It is sick, twisted, coarsely-made and utterly hillarious.
Wait, that means in probably WON'T win. Oh well... |
|
Sound
Pick: The Perfect Storm
Why: Sound was a huge element of this film. It's probably the
most obvious guess. |
|
Sound
Effects Editing
Pick: U-571
Why: Because the only challenger is Space Cowboys, which
makes almost no sense. |
|
|
Visual
Effects
Pick: Hollow Man
Why: This is a wild guess, because both Gladiator
and The Perfect Storm are also very strong contenders. I
picked Hollow Man because the visual effects were the ONLY
thing good about the film.
