I have been follwing the Oscars for a LONG time (see my post in the DIstrict 9 thread in OT), both having watched the telecast for over 20 yrs, and read a number of books and websites on the subject, including Nikki Finke';s site, for yrs. In recvent yrs all films except Gladiator were rerleased in the fall/winter. The Oscar race was an extremelyclose one in 2001, at rhe last minute it became close. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was crowned the de facto winner that year, having swept the Guilds and the awards organizations, and by the time they reached the Voting stage, the ranl and fuile in the Academy were panicked that a Chinese/Hong Kong film was going to win BP< so they were relived they had an American film to rally behind, Cladiator, which in truth was a weak film but had gotten some decent reviews and good box office. But there are many who still feel that it shouldnot have won, and CTHD should have. As for my opinions..you are known for being very opinionated yourself, telinghow you want the script to be. I am not arguing for one actor or the other per se. I am making my RP conjections based on the fact that he is a longtime emmber of Guillermo's acting "family" and he thus he likely to end up somewhere. Regardless of whether we want it or not. It;s not favoritism--it;s the way he works.
