The Skinny!
best supporting actress: julie walters --- my sleeper pick; I know nothing about this actress or movie. WRONG!
best supporting actor: jeff bridges --- overlooked for years, this fine actor finally gets his due. WRONG!
best actress: joan allen --- tired of roberts' act, the academy picks allen in this serious flick. WRONG!
best actor: ed harris --- anti-hanks vote coalesces around harris, in the role of a lifetime! WRONG!
best director: ang lee --- supporters of soderbergh split their vote between his two movies, allowing lee to slip in. WRONG!
best picture: traffic --- soderbergh wins here, in hollywood's ultra-trendy view of the drug wars (give me a break!). WRONG!
