1.> Russell Crowe was ROBBED!! He was flawless in "ABM". Washington's performance was pretty well done. It had flaws and it wasn't THAT convincing. Crowe hit everything HEAD ON! Truly one of, if not THE, best performance from an actor of all time.
2.> Nicole Kidman was ROBBED!! The way she went from drama, to singing, to comedy, to flirting...SHE WAS PERFECT in this role. She wrapped her arms around this film/role, and her role was the most convincing of the 5 nominees, and also the most difficult. She also shoulda been nominated for "The Others". And if they would have kept that role in contention, I honestly believe that she would have been nominated for BOTH roles. Yes, she was THAT good. Definitely the actrss of 2001. Berry was great. The role wasn't difficult though, and it was highly overrated. I personally thought that Spacek was second in line and Berry third.
3.> "Moulin Rouge!" deserved to be up for Actor (Ewan McGregor), Original Screenplay, Original Song ("Come What May"), Score (I know the prerequisute is ORIGINAL score. But they should DROP 'original', because "Moulin Rouge's!" score was not original but it was THE score of the year), and Baz Luhrman was all-out robbed for not making Director of the Year.
I agreed with Best Picture, although I liked "Moulin Rouge!" a little better, and Supporting Actress was right on as well. But Crowe and Kidman were just robbed.
