I really hope that "The Constant Gardener" gets a prize or two, say for adapted screenplay.

As for documentaries, although I haven't seen it, I believe that "March of the Penguins" will get the award.

Well, they agreed with me on six of the awards. The only real complaints are Rachel Weisz for supporting actress (very small part, very one-dimensional, good enough but unchallenging role) and Crash for best picture and screenplay, especially the screenplay win. I thought the movie was terribly sensationalistic and gave a very narrow view of race relations in Los Angeles, like a series of news bites. I prefer depth to breadth, and real plot structure to cheap literary devices. Sorry to anyone that liked that film, but I was very unimpressed with it. I don't generally like pontificational movies that try to tell you what to think. I will say this for it: it was full of terrific scenes, and did have some good performances from the ensemble, especially Terence Howard and Michael Pena.

Oh well. The only award I really cared about was best actor. Philip Seymour Hoffman has been one of my favorite actors for a long time now and I'm glad to see him getting some recognition. I was thrilled when I first saw the Capote trailer to see that he had finally gotten a leading role. Not surprisingly, he nailed it.
