Jan. 26th, 2005 12:53 amBEST PICTURE
“Aviator”
“Finding Neverland”
“The Incredibles”
“Million Dollar Baby”
“Sideways”
Ray
I had hoped for Incredibles, but didn’t really expect it. Regardless, wah.
BEST ACTOR
Don Cheadle, “Hotel Rwanda”
Johnny Depp , “Finding Neverland”
Leonardo DiCaprio , “Aviator”
Jamie Foxx, “Ray”
Paul Giamatti, “Sideways”
Clint Eastwood “Million Dollar Baby”
Giamatti fulfills the curse of the schlub.
BEST ACTRESS
Annette Bening, “Being Julia”
Catalina Sandeno Moreno, “Maria Full of Grace”
Imelda Staunton, “Vera Drake”
Hilary Swank, “Million Dollar Baby”
Kate Winslet, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”
I am so smart! I am so smart!.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Thomas Hayden Church, “Sideways”
Jamie Foxx , “Collateral”
Morgan Freeman, “Million Dollar Baby”
James Garner, “The Notebook”
Clive Owen, “Closer”
Alan Alda, “The Aviator”
Battle of social and cultural capital. Alda tops Garner (ew).
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Cate Blanchett, “The Aviator”
Virginia Madsen, “Sideways”
Sophie Okonedo, “Hotel Rwanda”
Natalie Portman, “Closer”
Meryl Streep, “The Manchurian Candidate”
Laura Linney, “Kinsey”
See supporting actor; usually Streep gets nominated for flatulence, and she’s quite good here. But a great year for the category and no shame.
Best Foreign Language film
China, “House of Flying Daggers,” Zhang Yimou
Spain, “The Sea Inside,” Alejandro Amenabar;
India, “Shwaas,” Sandeep Sawant;
Denmark, “The Five Obstructions,” Jørgen Leth & Lars von Triers
Brazil, “Olga,” Jayme Monjardim;
Sweden, “As It Is in Heaven” Kay Pollak
France, “Les Choristes” Christophe Barratier
Germany, “Downfall” Oliver Hirschbiegel
South Africa, “Yesterday” Darrell Roodt
How the fuck did Zhang Yimou not get any nominations? A total, racist farce
Overall: I got 23 of 30 correct
