...Moore) and directed by Billy Elliot vet Stephen Daldry. Yet for a film of its ostensible weight, The Hours certainly takes easy shots at its lead trio—three colossally boring straw women who rediscover their lost vitality in drearily obvious ways as the picture progresses. Perhaps The Hours?? greatest value rests in its side-by-side comparison of Moore, the greatest actress of her generation, and Streep, the most acclaimed actress of hers; when judged head-to-head, Moore ends up easily topping Streep, if for no other reason than that Streep persists in being...

Best Supporting Actor, a traditionally strong category, will no doubt include long-ignored journeymen Chris Cooper for Adaptation and Dennis Quaid for Far From Heaven. The Hours?? Ed Harris is a likely nominee, while Road to Perdition’s Paul Newman and Chicago’s John C. Reilly are less so. Nevertheless, I expect both of them to make the cut, leaving Frida’s Alfred Molina, Catch Me If You Can’s Christopher Walken and Narc’s Ray Liotta, among others, out in the cold...
...Best Supporting Actress slate is a more settled one. Guaranteed nominees include Kathy Bates for About Schmidt, Catherine Zeta-Jones for Chicago and Meryl Streep for Adaptation, with The Hours?? Julianne Moore almost as sure a bet. As bizarre as “Academy Award Nominee Queen Latifah” sounds, I expect that she’ll round out the category for her work in Chicago. Lesser possibilities for nominations include White Oleander’s Michelle Pfeiffer, Gangs of New York’s Cameron Diaz, Igby Goes Down’s Susan Sarandon, About...
