These are my predictions, and not necessarily what I would choose myself. The Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild Awards changed my mind about a few things. For example, I wouldn't have predicted a Best Picture nomination for The Others before The GGs. However, the GGs and SAG didn't make me pick Queen Latifah.
Best Picture
Chicago
The Hours
The Pianist
Gangs of New York
Far From Heaven
My dark horse among my picks is Far From Heaven. Some close calls are: About Schmidt, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Frida and Road to Perdition.
