BEST PICTURE
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
I love it when critics choices make best picture choices that aren't probable Oscar prospects, especially when I happen to be in awe of said film. I wish Jesse James had more going for it, because it really is an extraordinary film of awe, quiet power.
BEST DIRECTOR
Ethan Coen & Joel Coen, No Country For Old Men
BEST ACTOR
George Clooney, Michael Clayton
As I've mentioned before I don't get the whole Michael Clayton thing, or why Clooney was so rapturously received. It's not bad, I agree it's fairly good, but the film, nor the performance, is hardly the best of anything. I'm in the minority, but there it is.
