Kramer v Kramer is my year
 I've seen most of these movies, fortunately. I am still bitter about Shakespeare in Love beating Saving Private Ryan for BP.
Schindler's List is my fav. I love that movie, I think it's brilliant. I am excited to see what wins BP this year. This is the first year that I've
thought all 5 movies deserve to be up here!

Terms of Endearment - haven't seen this movie (it's my year)
My favourites are Schindler's List, The Silence of the Lambs and, of course, LOTR 
Not sure which of these movies I haven't seen as in Russian they can have different title

I love Rocky!!! It's a great movie. So inspiring! Apparently that was the first movie I ever saw. It was playing in theatres, I guess, and my mom took me
to see it when I was a few weeks old.

The Oscars do get it wrong some times
Rocky? yeah - that was a bad year, but worse is Forest Gump Ick! I still can't bear to see any part of that movie, and it gets worse with time. And the frequency of bad choices has increased in recent years.

Speaking of movies to see, this isn't a Best Pic winner but Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova won Best Song the other night for Once. It's a
charming, quirkly, little, low-budget movie that's getting tons of attention. I really liked it.
I thought it was very cool that Jon Stewart brought Marketa back out on stage to allow her to say her thank you's after she got cut off.

Again, this has nothing to do with Oscar winners, but there's a good little movie from several years back that I really liked. It's called Little
Voice. We were mentioning Brenda Blethyn in another thread and it reminded me of this film. It has a great cast including Brenda, Michael Caine, Jane
Horrocks, and Ewan McGregor. I have a VHS copy that I must pull out and watch again.
Has anyone seen this film?

Yes I have. That actress sings herself, did you know that? I liked that film a lot.
I think I have only seen her as the nitwit secretary in Absolutely Famous since though...
