Brian's Sushi Page 4th Annual Sushi Oscar Picks

[2000 Oscar Picks] [2001 Oscar Picks] [2002 Oscar Picks] [2003 Oscar Picks]

2004

My prediction in short

The big winner this year...Sideways, picking up the best picture, best director, adapted screenplay, & best supporting actress. In the highly anticipated best actor category, I'm going with Jamie Foxx's portrayal of Ray Charles. Martin Scorsese continues to be shunned by the academy - The Aviator will only pick up statues for art direction, cinematography, and sound mixing. Best actress will go to Kate Winslet, and "Eternal" will also pick up the original screenplay. Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby will earn an Oscar for Morgan Freeman.

What actually happened

Well...I was wrong in my big winner prediction. Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby was the powerhouse this year...and it deserved every bit of it. I correctly chose two of the four best acting statues, which is usually my downfall...and I got both music & screenplay categories; another rarity. Martin Scorsese and Annete Bening were again snubbed by the academy - no surprise here!

My prediction in short

I can't do any worse than last year! Or can I?!?

Mystic River will be the best picture, and Clint Eastwood will take the director statue (though I'll secretly be rooting for City Of God's Fernando Meirelles). It was a tough decision for me in the best actress category; I chose Theron's Monsterous performance! The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King will take 6 awards, for adapted screenplay & some of the technical categories. All of the critics who side with Lord Of The Rings for best picture tend to forget history - the only sequel to be nominated & win was The Godfather, Part II. Get real, guys...its a long shot at best! Lost In Translation will win for best actor (Bill Murray) & screenplay.

What actually happened

My predictions - not bad, compared to the last two years!!! I'm currently eating my words about Lord Of The Rings, which was coated with a glaze of denial. As far as the "biggies", I was right on with Theron...but missed the mark with Bill Murray (I started a bout of self-doubt when Sean Penn actually showed up for this nomination). I was also correct in my screenplay predictions. I was glad to see Renee Zellweger win, even though she was more deserving for her role last year in Chicago. Oh, and hats off to Billy Crystal - the most entertaining host of The Oscars, in my opinion.
