Well that was the objective of my post, LOL. Nice picks, is there anything you like besides The Others and A Beautiful Mind?

[FlickJunkie]

Yea, some of my other favorite movies from 2001 are VANILLA SKY, A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, MOULIN ROUGE!, and I just got done seeing GHOST WORLD. Also HARRY POTTER, SHREK, & BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY

But still, no other movies rise above A BEAUTIFUL MIND and THE OTHERS in any of the categories.

All I know is that if Steve Buscemi does not win at the oscars (or the golden schmoes), then its a travesty. In fact, of all the categories this year, this is the only one I feel passionately about (b/c I know that A Beautiful Mind and LOTR will sweep the big awards...I think that both are HIGHLY overrated). Back to the point, I think that without Buscemi, Ghost World would have been a completely different movie.
