...passed the plum starring role to Meg Ryan. "I know it sounds New Age--y," Kidman says, "but it's important to help one another rather than compete." Yet competition there is, for so few films. "I was often third down the line," says Catherine Zeta-Jones, a wow as the Chicago virago. "I've sometimes said, 'Give me a screen test,' but how many times can you put up your hand and say, 'What about me?'" Lane acknowledges that actors are artists for hire: "If you're a plumber, there are only a certain amount of pipes that need...

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...
