I'll only put the important ones, and put less interesting ones like best make-up later, if I can be bothered.
Oh, and this one's for Goatboy - LotR:FotR has been nominated for 13 awards. Excellent.

Best Actor:

Russell Crowe in "A Beautiful Mind"
Sean Penn in "I Am Sam"
Will Smith in "Ali"
Denzel Washington in "Training Day"
Tom Wilkinson in "In the Bedroom"

Stryke's Opinion: Russell Crowe is a damn good actor, so I'll go with him.

Best Supporting Actor:

Jim Broadbent in "Iris"
Ethan Hawke in "Training Day"
Ben Kingsley in "Sexy Beast"
Ian McKellen in "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"
Jon Voight in "Ali"

Stryke's Opinion: Split here, because I'll trust Goaty's opinon that Sexy Beats rules, but I also think Ian McKellen ruled as Gandalf. I'll go with Ian McKellen because LotR was more mainstream.

Best Actress:

Halle Berry in "Monster's Ball"
Judi Dench in "Iris"
Nicole Kidman in "Moulin Rouge"
Sissy Spacek in "In the Bedroom"
Renée Zellweger in "Bridget Jones's Diary"

Stryke's Opinion: Bah, if Renee whatever gets an Oscar, it's a sad day. Go "M".

Best Supporting Actress:

Jennifer Connelly in "A Beautiful Mind"
Helen Mirren in "Gosford Park"
Maggie Smith in "Gosford Park"
Marisa Tomei in "In the Bedroom"
Kate Winslet in "Iris"

Stryke's Opinion: Hm, Gosford Park is getting many an Oscar nomination. Damn. I think Kate Winslet is an amazing actress since I saw Quills, so I'll go with her.

Best Director:

A Beautiful Mind" - Ron Howard
"Black Hawk Down" - Ridley Scott
"Gosford Park" - Robert Altman
"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" - Peter Jackson
"Mulholland Drive" - David Lynch

Stryke's Opinion: Again, I'm split. I firmly believe David Lynch deserves an Oscar, but Peter Jackson triumphed with LotR.

Best Film:

"A Beautiful Mind"
"Gosford Park"
"In the Bedroom"
"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"
"Moulin Rouge"

Stryke's Opinion: Lord of the Rings, without a doubt.

Best Screenplay:

"Amélie"
"Gosford Park"
"Memento"
"Monster's Ball"
"The Royal Tenenbaums"

Stryke's Opinion: Got to be Memento, I love that film.

Oh, and one more: Memento is nominated for Best Film Editing. I'd say nothing can come near Memento for film editing. A whole film backwards? Got to be good.

Best Supporting Actor:

Jim Broadbent in "Iris"
Ethan Hawke in "Training Day"
Ben Kingsley in "Sexy Beast"
Ian McKellen in "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"

YH Opinion: Jim Broadbent has to be in with a chance, I thought he was pretty good in Iris. Haven't seen Sexy Beast yet, but I'll go with Goaty saying Kingsley rocks.


Best Actress:

Halle Berry in "Monster's Ball"
Judi Dench in "Iris"
Nicole Kidman in "Moulin Rouge"
Sissy Spacek in "In the Bedroom"

A Beautiful Mind" - Ron Howard
"Black Hawk Down" - Ridley Scott

"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" - Peter Jackson
"Mulholland Drive" - David Lynch

Here's some more, because I care:

Best Adapted Screenplay:

"A Beautiful Mind"
"Ghost World"
"In the Bedroom"
"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"
"Shrek"

Stryke's Opinion: Now, here's where I disagree. LotR wasn't the best adapted screenplay at all. I'll go with Shrek, because it deserves at least one Oscar.

Special Effects:

"A.I. Artificial Intelligence"
"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"
"Pearl Harbor"

Stryke's Opinion: LotR again, because the other two were toss.

Best Foreign Language Film:

"Amélie"
"Elling"
"Lagaan"
"No Man's Land"
"Son of the Bride"

Stryke's Opinion: Anyone disputing Amelie? Good, let's move on.

Cinematography:

"Amélie"
"Black Hawk Down"
"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" "The Man Who Wasn't There"
"Moulin Rouge"

Stryke's Opinion: Don't really care, so LotR :-D

Animated Film:

"Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius"
"Monsters, Inc."
"Shrek"

Stryke's Opinion: Jimmy what? Does anyone feel they put that in to make up the numbers? Shrek should take it, although Monsters Inc is great.
