as predicted. "Far From
Heaven" really deserved
this, but Hall's work was
nearly as impressive.
His son's acceptance
speech was also a nice
touch.

prediction "Far From
Heaven." Basically all of
the nominees in this
category were worthy
(expect perhaps the
forgettable "Road to
Perdition" score), but the
Academy shows once
again that it often gives
extreme long shots in this
category -- "The Red
Violin," "Life is Beautiful"
-- the unexpected win.

prediction "Gangs of New
York." How are "Chicago's"
sets any more elaborate or
artistic than those of "Gangs"
or "The Two Towers"?
They aren't. When this
award was handed out, it
looked like a complete
"Chicago" sweep...for a
split-second.

bigger victor, taking
home 3 of the Big 8.

"Spider-Man" rightfully lost, as its FX looked
too fake and cartoony. (Was it eligible in the
Best Animated Film category?) George
