: Well, it looks like Mann has a second chance at Oscar. I haven't seen The Insider so I can't speak to it. Has anyone else? Is it worth the price of admission? Russel Crowe is supposed to be excellent; but I have a hard time picturing him in a serious role after seeing him in Mystery Alaska. But, I guess that's part of being an actor.
Well, it seems that not only does he have a chance for best director, but for screenplay as well. We'll see what happens on Oscar Night, I guess. As far as Russel Crowe is concerned, I think the favorite for Best Actor is Denzel. I've heard his performance is just phenomenal. For best supporting actor, I don't think I could decide between the ever gorgeous Tom Cruise, or that cute little kid, Haley Joel Osmet. My best friend told me that he is just amazing in the Sixth Sense. I refuse to see it though. I'd never be able to get to sleep after that one. I wasn't paying attention, but did anyone hear if Julia Roberts got a nomination. If she didn't, I am going to be so pissed off. Her performance in Notting Hill was amazing! She trully is a wonderful actress.
