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"

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"

"Black Hawk Down" - Ridley Scott
"Gosford Park" - Robert Altman

Ian McKellen in "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"

Best Adapted Screenplay:
"A Beautiful Mind"
"Ghost World"
"In the Bedroom"

"Shrek"

Special Effects:
"A.I. Artificial Intelligence"
