couldn't pull through
with the Big One. "Girl
With a Pearl Earring"
was also rewardingly
nominated.

many years as I can
remember, John Williams
was not be nominated --
because he didn't score a
film this year! Will
longtime Tim Burton
collaborator Danny
Elfman finally get his due
with "Big Fish"? Or will
it be "Cold Mountain"?

usually goes to a period
piece, since voters must feel
that it's more difficult to
create sets from years past.
Thus, none of the films
nominated are contemporary;
they range from hundreds of
years back for "Pearl
Earring" to just a few
decades for "Seabiscuit."

which one would voters
likely go for? I'm
having a hunch that a lot
of these awards are
gonna go to "Girl With a
Pearl Earring" since it's
the one true underdog.

that "X2" didn't earn any technical nods
-- especially here, where it would've
made the most sense. It's tough to
deny the technical skill of that movie.

highlights of the ceremony for
me. I don't know if it could
