Although Jack Nicholson did a damn good job playing Jack Nicholson
in AGAIG, it's still a crime that Kevin Kline got no recognition for
his excellent work in not one, but two films last year. But hey,
what kind of world would it be if everyone AGREED with the Academy, eh?

The real John Forbes Nash will be interviewed by Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes. Below is the story from Reuters.
********************************************************************************
Nash to Discuss 'Beautiful Mind' on '60 Minutes'
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - John Forbes Nash, the schizophrenic Nobel Prize-winning mathematician whose life was the basis for
the critically acclaimed and controversial film "A Beautiful Mind," will talk publicly about the movie for the first time on CBS's "60
Minutes," the network said on Wednesday.
CBS, which will air the interview between Nash, 72, and correspondent Mike Wallace on March 27, did not provide details or a
transcript about what was said in the meeting.
It said Nash and his wife, Alicia, will comment on "their lifelong struggles, their thoughts on the film and the controversy it has
raised."
The network announced the interview on the same day that Sylvia Nasar, author of Nash's 1998 biography, wrote a letter to the Los
Angeles Times answering recent claims that Nash was gay, an adulterer, a bad father and a rabid anti-Semite.
Critics have also charged that the film oversimplifies Nash's life in order to turn his struggle with psychosis into a love story that
revolves around his relationship with a devoted wife.
In fact, Nash had an affair, fathered an illegitimate child and was divorced by his wife in 1963. They remarried last June. Nasar
dismissed a 1967 letter written by Nash against Jews as a product of his paranoia, and said that while he had "intense emotional
relationships with other men" in his 20s, there was no evidence he was gay.
The film's backers, including Oscar-nominated director Ron Howard, have defended those omissions, saying they were out to capture
the essence of Nash's life not to produce a biography.
"Beautiful Mind" has won numerous awards in the run-up to the Academy Awards (news - web sites), including the Golden Globe
for best dramatic film. Its star, Russell Crowe, won the Globe for best actor in a dramatic movie and the Screen Actors Guild (news -
web sites) Award for top male actor in a film.
The movie is nominated for eight Academy Awards, which will be given out on March 24.

These are CNN's Paul Clinton's predictions for the Oscars this year.
*******************************************************************************
Wide-open race for Oscar
From hobbits to professors to singers, toss-ups for the golden statue March 19, 2002 Posted: 12:42 PM EST (1742 GMT)
By Paul Clinton
CNN Reviewer
(CNN) -- Once again, Hollywood has set an all-time record for box office revenue, with more than $8 billion in ticket sales for 2001. Unfortunately, this does not necessarily translate into great films that will stand the test of time.
As usual, Oscar-worthy movies were few and far between until the waning weeks of the year, when pictures with Academy Award potential hit the country's cineplexes like a tidal wave.
This year is proving to be the most wide-open Oscar race in a long time, with no sure things in any of the major categories. But I'll stick my neck out anyway and make my usual predictions as to "what should win" and "what will win." The great thing is that no matter how wrong -- or right -- I am, in a couple of weeks nobody will remember who won and who didn't -- except the winners, losers and their agents. Quick: Who won best supporting actor last year? See? (See end of story for the answer.)
Best actor: Russell Crowe ("A Beautiful Mind"), Sean Penn ("I Am Sam"), Will Smith ("Ali"), Denzel Washington ("Training Day"), Tom Wilkinson ("In The Bedroom").
Once again, Crowe is one of the main contenders for the top prize, and winning best actor from the Screen Actors Guild and the Golden Globes are good signs. Oscar has agreed with SAG six out of seven times that the award has been available, and the Globes also have a good record.
Crowe gives a masterful performance in this film based (apparently loosely) on the life of John Forbes Nash Jr., a mathematical genius, a schizophrenic, and a Nobel laureate. Crowe is one of the most powerful actors on screen today, and if he wins, he'll join the rarefied world of previous consecutive winners, most recently Tom Hanks for 1993's "Philadelphia" and 1994's "Forrest Gump."
If there's another odds-on favorite for best actor, it's Denzel Washington. Not winning the SAG Award could hurt, but he did win the American Film Institute Award. "Training Day" is the first time Washington has played an out-and-out villain, and his awesome power as an actor who can hold the screen like a vise is on full display. However, Oscar usually doesn't like bad guys.
The other three nominees turn in excellent performances, but their chances are slim. Penn's highly sentimental film has not been very successful, and he's disdainful of the very concept of actors competing against each other. Smith's performance as Muhammad Ali is nothing short of miraculous, but not being nominated for a SAG Award is not a good sign, and his movie has not been a hit with critics or the public. And in this field, with these nominees, Wilkinson's nomination for "In the Bedroom" is a long shot to win.
Will win: Washington
Should win: Washington
Clinton predicts Halle Berry will get the best actress Oscar for her role in "Monster's Ball."
Best actress: Halle Berry ("Monster's Ball"), Judi Dench ("Iris"), Nicole Kidman ("Moulin Rouge"), Sissy Spacek ("In The Bedroom"), Renee Zellweger ("Bridget Jones's Diary").
The favorites in this category are Kidman and Spacek, with Berry coming up quickly. "Moulin Rouge" was a highly risky venture and Kidman could have fallen flat on her beautiful face. Instead, she soared -- and scored -- as Satine, a French courtesan and nightclub performer at the infamous Moulin Rouge in Paris during the fading years of the 19th century. This is her first nomination. She's both sexy and funny in this tour-de-force performance.
Spacek is not only a gifted actress of the highest order, she's also one of the nicest people in the business. This is her sixth nomination, all in the best actress category; she won in 1980 for her portrayal of Loretta Lynn in "Coal Miner's Daughter." Spacek's carefully understated and layered performance in "In the Bedroom" as a mother who loses her son, and then has to fight for justice, is seamless in its complete perfection.
Berry gives the best performance of her life in the deeply disturbing and intensely dramatic "Monster's Ball." This is her first nomination, but her early best actress prize from the National Board of Review and then her surprise win as best actress at the SAG Awards make her a main contender.
The other nominees -- Dench and Zellweger -- are long shots, though Zellweger has already bucked the odds by being nominated for a comedy.
Will win: Berry
Should win: Berry
Clinton says Marisa Tomei's "In the Bedroom" performance is stronger than her 1992 Oscar-winning role in "My Cousin Vinny." Best supporting actress: Jennifer Connelly ("A Beautiful Mind"), Helen Mirren ("Gosford Park"), Maggie Smith("Gosford Park"), Marisa Tomei ("In The Bedroom") and Kate Winslet ("Iris").
This is often a wild-card category, and it's no different this year. Connelly has the best role of her young career with "A Beautiful Mind" as Alicia Nash, the wife of Russell Crowe's John Forbes Nash Jr. This is her first nomination. She plays her character from college girl to old woman, and her steady presence is vital to Crowe's success in the far flashier role of her husband.
Mirren is an actor's actor, and this is her second nomination in this category. After her SAG Award win, she must be considered the favorite. "Gosford Park" is the best Robert Altman film in years, and Mirren's role as the head housekeeper at a posh English estate is brilliantly played. The Academy will want to acknowledge "Gosford Park," but it's doubtful it will get best picture.
Smith, a two-time Oscar winner, has stolen nearly every scene in every film she's been in for the last five decades. The danger here is that she's up against fellow "Gosford Park" star Mirren -- the favorite, according to many -- and this could split the vote. Tomei was a wild card when she won this category for "My Cousin Vinny" in 1992. There would be some sweet irony, and well-deserved validation, if she won this year for her strong performance in "In The Bedroom." Winslet's work as the young title character in "Iris" is an exceptionally strong and nuanced performance.
Should win: Connelly (only because I flipped a coin between her and Smith)
Will win: Mirren
Clinton calls Jon Voight's portrayal of Howard Cosell in "Ali" "very convincing" but doesn't predict him to win best supporting actor.
Best supporting actor: Jim Broadbent ("Iris"), Ethan Hawke ("Training Day"), Ben Kingsley ("Sexy Beast"), Ian McKellen ("The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"), Jon Voight ("Ali").
McKellen, probably this category's favorite, can do no wrong in the eyes of many of his peers. This is his second nomination, the first coming for "Gods and Monsters" (1998), and many felt he was robbed that year when he lost to the overacting antics of Roberto Benigni in "Life is Beautiful." "Rings" has been losing all of the pre-Oscar technical awards to "Moulin Rouge," which doesn't bode well for success on Oscar night despite its 13 nominations, but this could work in McKellen's favor. Besides, Sir Ian is a British Knight, and Oscar is a sucker for such titles.
Voight is unrecognizable in his role as Howard Cosell in "Ali." This is his fourth nomination -- he won best actor for "Coming Home" in 1978 -- and he's made the transition from leading man to character actor with style, skill and grace. Kingsley is mesmerizing in "Sexy Beast," but the film was not widely seen or admired by the public, and he's a long shot.
Broadbent was extraordinary in "Iris," and he also turned in a career-defining performance in "Moulin Rouge" this year. This his first nomination. Hawke's nomination -- also is first -- was the big surprise this year in this category. However, if Denzel wins -- which I think he will -- it will be unlikely that the Academy will honor this film twice in the acting category.
Should win: Ian McKellen
Will win: Ian McKellen
Best director: Ron Howard ("A Beautiful Mind"), Ridley Scott ("Black Hawk Down"), Robert Altman ("Gosford Park"), Peter Jackson ("The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"), David Lynch ("Mulholland Drive").
Howard is the Oscar night favorite after winning the top honor from the
Directors Guild of America. But Howard also won the Guild award in 1995 for Apollo 13" and didn't win the Oscar -- indeed, he wasn't even nominated. Still, the Academy has failed to followed the DGA's lead only five times in its 54-year history.
Altman is an American icon, a total maverick and a Hollywood outsider. This is his seventh nomination, and some may give him their votes because he's not getting any younger and they might look at it as a "lifetime achievement" honor. "Gosford Park" is Altman's most commercial and accessible film in years.
Jackson is in a very strange position. He's a first-time nominee who hasn't just made a film, he's created a universe. But -- herein lies the rub -- he's also arguably made one big movie, which he's dividing into three parts and releasing one at a time over three years. Many voters may just think "Well, he has two more chances to win for the 'Rings' trilogy, so I'll give him my vote later." He's a long shot.
Scott and Lynch have little chance, despite their fine work.
Will win: Howard
Should win: Jackson
Clinton suggests the odds are against "Gosford Park" winning the best picture award.
Best picture: "A Beautiful Mind," "Gosford Park," "In The Bedroom," "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," "Moulin Rouge."
To some, "A Beautiful Mind" is the no-brainer (no pun intended) winner for 2002. Critics filled the skies with hosannas over Crowe's performance and Howard's direction of this story about a brilliant mathematician and Nobel Prize winner who fought a decades-long battle with severe schizophrenia. Then things got nasty. (See story.) Still, "A Beautiful Mind" is one of the best films of this -- or any other -- year, and should be judged on its own merits.
"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is a magnificent achievement for all involved. This is one of those very rare films in which the screenplay lived up to the standards of the original books. But the same logic -- or lack thereof -- mentioned above regarding Jackson's chances to win best director also apply here.
I would love to see "Gosford Park" win (I feel that way about two or three other nominees as well), but the odds are against it. And the odds are even longer against "In The Bedroom" and "Moulin Rouge" -- though the latter did win a Golden Globe and the Producers Guild award. Keep that in mind: the PGA has picked the best picture winner nine out of the last 12 years.
Should win: "Moulin Rouge"
Will win: "Lord of the Rings"
And who won best supporting actor last year? Benicio Del Toro for "Traffic."

The movie "A Beautiful Mind," a front-runner for Oscar, has come under criticism for taking liberties with Nash's life -- but its makers say the criticism is part of a whisper campaign to hurt the movie's Oscar chances.
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- The makers of "A Beautiful Mind" have objected to what they say is a whisper campaign to hurt the Oscar chances of their movie, which is up for eight Academy Awards including best picture.
Although no evidence has surfaced that proves a conspiracy, Universal Pictures, director Ron Howard and star Russell Crowe said they suspectsome Hollywood rivals of secretly badmouthing their film to sway academy voters.
"If there's an attack strategy, that's an impolitic tool," Howard said. "It's not about reminding people of your virtues, it's about undermining the other candidate's credibility. That's a shame."
Competing studios have denied involvement in the alleged smear campaign.
Various news reports in recent weeks have noted that "A Beautiful Mind" leaves out some unflattering aspects of the life of John Forbes Nash, the Nobel Prize-winning mathematician whose life it chronicles.
In a CBS "60 Minutes" interview, Nash and his wife, Alicia, denied allegations that he was gay, anti-Semitic or a poor father. And Sylvia Nasar, author of the 1998 biography, "A Beautiful Mind," on which the film was based, wrote a commentary in the Los Angeles Times last week that accused many media outlets, including The Associated Press, of misstating details of Nash's life.
The film, which stars Crowe and Jennifer Connelly as the Nashes, portrays them throughout Nash's decades-long struggle with mental illness and its eventual remission, culminating in his winning the Nobel Prize for economics in 1994. Among its Oscar nominations are best director, actor, supporting actress and adapted screenplay, for Akiva Goldsman. (Read the CNN review.)
Changing things for the movie
Both Nash and Nasar said his anti-Semitic remarks were made while he was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.
"I did have strange ideas during certain periods of time," Nash, 73, said on "60 Minutes." "It's really my subconscious talking. It was really that. I know that now."
Other aspects of his life not mentioned in the movie were a son he fathered by another woman before he married Alicia, and the fact that Nash and Alicia later divorced. The divorced couple lived together for many years and eventually remarried in 2001.
Some reports, including one by the AP, implied that the affair took place while Nash was married, instead of before he was married, as Nasar wrote.
Nasar also criticized some reports that said Nash was a homosexual. Despite a 1954 indecency arrest and allusions in her book to his flirtatious behavior with men, she said he is an avowed heterosexual. The indecency charge was later dropped, she said.
Howard and screenwriter Goldsman said they changed some aspects of Nash's life to make the film more dramatic, and omitted other elements they considered unimportant to the story.
Oscar voting concludes Tuesday and the Academy Awards are given out next Sunday.
Crowe: Money 'takes people to a different place'
Films that win major Academy Awards can usually count on significant extra box-office sales and a long shelf-life on video, and studios spend millions to promote their films to Oscar voters.
Crowe said he believes the amount of money at stake leads to some dirty campaigning.
"As soon as they toss that much money, that takes people to a different place," the actor said. "And this is supposed to be about the joy of filmmaking."

Who knows who will win Oscar?
The Oscar picks for a weak year
March 19, 2002
By Paul Tatara
CNN.com reviewer
(CNN) -- Let's face it, 2001 was an exceptionally weak year for movies. Not a single picture or performance flattened everyone who saw it, so several awards are up for grabs.
Best actor: Russell Crowe ("A Beautiful Mind"); Sean Penn ("I Am Sam"); Will Smith ("Ali"); Denzel Washington ("Training Day"); and Tom Wilkinson ("In the Bedroom").
It's a standoff between Crowe and Washington, and it might come down to a good old fashioned congeniality contest. Crowe may have blown it by throwing a widely reported fit after a poem he recited at the British version of the Oscars was cut from the TV broadcast, while Washington is a consistently terrific actor who's well-liked in the industry.
Smith, oddly enough, was barely given anything to play after spending a year boxing and duplicating Muhammad Ali's voice and body language in preparation for the role. Wilkinson's work is too subdued for less perceptive voters to take notice. And Penn's movie was so full of sugary goop, it could have been produced by Krispy Kreme.
The winner: It seems like Washington will get it. But if Crowe does, rest assured he'll be allowed to recite T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land," complete with footnotes, if the mood strikes him.

Will Crowe go two for two (from canoe)
Q: Will Crowe go two for two?
(A: If he doesn't, he has only himself to blame)
By LOUIS B. HOBSON -- Calgary Sun
Take heed, all ye serfs.
Julia, queen of all Hollywood, has decreed that the academy anoint Denzel Washington best actor at Sunday's Oscars.
Having won best actress for Erin Brockovich, Julia Roberts will be handing out the best actor Oscar this year. She of the roving eye was practically tearful last month when she announced: "I cannot absorb living in a world where I have an Oscar for best actress and Denzel doesn't have one for best actor. He should be on his third Oscar by now, and that might not be enough."
Washington was nominated in 1992 for Malcolm X but he, and an equally deserving Clint Eastwood for Unforgiven, lost to Al Pacino's overwrought performance in Scent of a Woman. In 2000, Washington and Russell Crowe for The Insider were toppled by Kevin Spacey, who won for American Beauty.
Roberts, who starred opposite Washington in 1993's The Pelican Brief, is right when she observes that Washington deserved an Oscar for either or both Malcolm X and The Hurricane, but she's out to lunch if she thinks he should be recognized for his performance in Training Day, which, by the way, is available on video and DVD today. It's exactly the same kind of hammy acting that swayed voters into Pacino's corner back in 1992.
If Washington wins - and there's a good chance he could - it will be more for his continued excellence rather than for his corrupt cop in Training Day.
It will also be because Crowe has been working overtime to convince academy members not to vote for the star of A Beautiful Mind. Crowe's temper tantrum at the British film awards did little to dispel the growing feeling in Hollywood that this is one bad boy whose ego is growing in proportion to his paycheque. Make no mistake, Crowe deserves to win back-to-back Oscars for his masterful performance as schizophrenic genius John Nash Jr. in A Beautiful Mind.
Julia, dear, if anyone deserves to be getting his second Oscar in as many years, it's Crowe. The fact he's a troubled genius did not prevent him from getting the endorsement from your colleagues at this year's Screen Actors Guild awards. If Crowe loses this year, he has no one to blame but himself because he has been the frontrunner with critics since the film premiered in December.
Like Crowe, British actor Tom Wilkinson is far more deserving of the best actor Oscar this year than Washington. As the grieving father of In the Bedroom, Wilkinson's quietly understated agony was often overshadowed by Sissy Spacek's and Marisa Tomei's understandable emotional outbursts.
Wilkinson may be a relatively unknown quantity on this side of the Atlantic, but in his native Britain he is highly respected. His film and television performances have earned him five British film nominations, including his win in 1998 for best supporting actor in The Full Monty.
Wilkinson is one of those revered character actors who can rise above his mediocre material in movies like Rush Hour and The Black Knight while turning in staggering performances in such little-seen British movies as Wilde, Priest and The Story of Father Damien.
Wilkinson won't win this year but perhaps his nomination will alert producers and directors on both sides of the Atlantic to his underappreciated and underused talents.
Even Will Smith's loving and careful impersonation of boxing legend Muhammad Ali in Michael Mann's unfocused biopic Ali is deserving of recognition, more for what Smith might have accomplished given a better script and better direction. Smith will steal some of the votes that would have gone to Washington had he been the only African-American actor nominated in this category.
Anyone who feels this is not a factor is naive. Even Smith himself pointed out recently, "most of the 8,000 members (of the academy) are white, and you vote for what you associate with. If black people are voting, then a black person will probably win. It's not racism. It's what we relate to."
Forget Sean Penn because academy voters will.
If his far, far superior performance in 1995 in Dead Man Walking couldn't nab him the Oscar, his histrionics this year in I Am Sam certainly won't. It's the kind of performance that works well for TV but seems grating on the big screen. It doesn't help that Penn's disdain for Hollywood in general, and the Oscars in particular, is well documented.
HOW THE OTHERS VOTED
Golden Globe Awards: Russell Crowe, A Beautiful Mind.
Screen Actors Guild: Russell Crowe, A Beautiful Mind.
Los Angeles Film Critics Association: Denzel Washington, Training Day.
New York Film Critics Circle: Tom Wilkinson, In the Bedroom.
National Board of Review: Billy Bob Thornton, The Man Who Wasn't There.
Broadcast Film Critics Association: Russell Crowe, A Beautiful Mind.
British Academy of Film and Television Arts: Russell Crowe, A Beautiful Mind.
American Film Institute: Denzel Washington, Training Day.
Last year's winner: Russell Crowe, Gladiator.
All-time champ: It's a seven-way tie for the most best actor wins (two), but Spencer Tracy holds the distinction of being the one with the most nominations (nine) and the only back-to-back wins in this category before Tom Hanks.
