Moulin Rouge had a more mixed reception upon release, but its PGA nod and its Best Comedy Golden Globe make it a safe bet for a nomination. 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...

We can expect America's "war on terrorism" to continue in various forms and locations ranging from Afghanistan and the Philippines to, perhaps, Iraq or Somalia, with attendant peril for soldiers and civilians alike. In 2002 concern over "homeland security" will mean more long lines at airport checkpoints and lengthy backups at border posts...

"We're not going to stop short," he said...
...that the "lessons" of Vietnam or Lebanon or Somalia do not apply; everything about this task is different. We were attacked. We've already suffered thousands of casualties; we fight to defend ourselves, our principles and their memory. And this too is an intimate crusade. Credit the New York Times and its "Portraits of Grief" with ensuring that even though nearly 3,000 people perished, we may eventually make the acquaintance of each one. We know who was a bride-to-be and who was a woodcarver, who clipped coupons and who had retired the week before and gone...
