...second TV spot Seismic created for Robert Altman's Oscar-nominated Gosford Park begins with a vintage Rolls-Royce zooming across the screen--in the actual movie the car rolls along rather leisurely--and showcases the youngest members of the cast (Clive Owen, Ryan Phillippe and Emily Watson) in whooshing high-tech cuts. "The movie is no longer sacred, because filmmakers have loosened the reins," says Schneiderman. "They know in order to make their next film, they've got to sell this...
...Howard are sure things. Baz Luhrmann’s boldly excessive vision for Moulin Rouge assures him of a nomination as well. Despite Robert Altman’s snub from the Directors Guild of America (DGA), I’m confident that his multiple honors for Gosford Park (from the Globes, the AFI, and the New York critics, among others) are a sufficient bellwether for an Oscar nod. Ridley Scott’s DGA and AFI nominations for his command of Black Hawk Down’s chaotic battle sequences also make him a probable nominee. David Lynch...

Black Hawk Down’s intense presentation of American combat in Somalia may seem topical enough to warrant recognition, and the much-acclaimed In the Bedroom will likely overcome its gloomy subject matter to nab a nomination as well. Shrek and Gosford Park also have outside chances of sneaking into the field...
...Beautiful Mind’s Jennifer Connelly and Gosford Park’s Helen Mirren are the frontrunners here, Connelly having taken the Globe and the AFI award, and Mirren having won multiple prizes from critics’ organizations. Behind them, in a tight pack, are Mirren’s castmate Maggie Smith, In the Bedroom’s Marisa Tomei and Iris’s Kate Winslet, as well as Vanilla Sky’s Cameron Diaz and Bandits’ Cate Blanchett. Of the five, Tomei’s and Smith’s films are the most...
Most likely to be nominated for best original screenplays are Memento, whose innovative screenplay has figured in nearly every set of awards this year, and Gosford Park, whose script has also won recognition from many organizations. Both of these films, as well as the others that I’m predicting in this category, are offbeat critical darlings, a type of film which usually makes its best showing in the screenplay categories. Outside possibilities for nods include the scripts for Moulin Rouge, Monsters Ball, and The Others...
