SO, YOU FANCY YOURSELF CLAIRVOYANT, EH? Predicting the 2003 Oscar winners. Except for the omission of Scarlett Johansson and the inevitable sycophancy surrounding “The Lord of the Rings,” the Oscars for 2003 are a fine set of movies.  I would have liked to see “Kill Bill Volume 1” and “Bad Santa” up for something, as well as little-seen art films like “Man on the Train,” “All the Real Girls,” “Better Luck Tomorrow,” “The Good Thief,” “Northfork,” and “Owning Mahowny.”  But you can’t please all the people all the time (click here for Why Should We Care About the Oscars?). So away we go:  here’s how my Beautiful & Talented Wife and I would vote, if by some miracle we had the vote, and our predictions on which pictures the Academy will favor.
