...most of the night, Oscar went with the favorites. George Clooney (Syriana) and Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener) won in the supporting actor categories; Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote) and Reese Witherspoon (Walk the Line) took Best Actor and Actress; Brokeback Mountain was cited for adapted screenplay, Crash for original screenplay; and Brokeback?s Ang Lee for Best Director. The smart money even had the right over-under number on how many Jewish references host Jon Stewart would make in the award show?s first 30 minutes...
...different films. So it was a night with something for everyone, except Steven Spielberg, whose Munich was shut out in the five categories (including Best Picture and Best Director) for which it had secured nominations.

Shyamalan took it quite seriously. "I really did approach this commercial as a two-minute movie," he says. "We filmed it in the movie way, over two days, 12 shots a day, with movie people and movie actors." The commercial, for American Express...
...Henderson Presents. Ferocity over likability could also lift Weisz, in The Constant Gardener, over adorable Amy Adams, in Junebug. The same logic applies to both Actress categories: do you want the driven idealist or the down-home cutie? As for Supporting Actor, Hollywood may want to reward George Clooney, the hunk with a liberal heart; but Gyllenhaal really deserves...
