If TTT won this year, then I doubt that ROTK would stand a chance nexy year... and I would rather see that one get the Oscar. PJ deserves an Oscar for directing at some point, but once again I am rooting for ROTK.<P>I think that Howard Shore deserves an Oscar again, because I haven't heard a better soundtrack.<BR>All of the visual elements have a good chance in the running. I would not doubt that the movie picks up some more of those at the least.<P>I saw <I>Gangs of New York</I> & I think that it tried to be a little more than it actually was. It had the ability to be great, but I don't think it quite made it there. So, if that movie wins I will be sadly upset.<BR>Some other movies in the running, probably, are <I>Chicago</I>, <I>Adaptation</I>, <I>About Schmit</I>, <I>The Hours</I>(if that is released within the time brackett, I don't don't if it will count for this year).<BR><I>Catch Me If You Can</I> should not be nominated, because it was nothing spectacular. It was entertaining, but not Oscar material. Some other movies that I think may get nominated for something are <I>Punch Drunk Love</I>, <I>Moonlight Mile</I>, <I>My Big Fat Greek Wedding</I>. There is also a movie with Julianne Morre that is getting a lot of praise.<P>Anywho, I'm sorry to say that I don't think TTT stands a chance for Best Film because it is up against many typical dramas. I just hope that ROTK pulls in all of the awards that FOTR and TTT couldn't.
