This is one year where I haven't seen any of the Best Picture nominees prior to the announcement. (Last year I saw two, and netiehr was my favorite of the five). Of all the nominees, I'm ashamed to admit I've only seen _Being John Malkovich_, most of _The Talented Mr. Ripley_ (the bulb burned out in the last few minutes and we got exchange coupons), The Red Violin, Magnolia, Sleepy Hollow, The Matrix, and Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. Michael Nyman was ignored again...
