Fellowship of the Ring may win for adapted screenplay, sure of a nomination anyway, but I suspect the frontrunner in that category is going to be Christopher Nolan for his brilliant Memento. And...

Yeah, Kinglsy has a virtual lock on a Supporting nod, but it may be a harder hill to climb for Best Actor. It is really a supporting role anyway. Steals that movie and is central to what happens, but...

No, I can make UNeducated guesses, as I haven't had the chance to see those movies yet. I'd rather wait until January, but knock yourself out, man.

I know everybody is in a patriotic mood and everything, but I hope Pearl Harbor doesn't get any major noms, like for Picture. It was a horrible movie, save the FX in the battle sequences. Horrible....

Yes, but even in the narrow perspective of the Oscars alone, I don't think Carrey has much to pine for or gripe about. He's not even on the list of 100 greatest Academy snubs. Not even close.
