Let's take an unofficial vote and see how our results stack up with what takes place at the Academy Awards.

My pick would be:  Signs.

The Oscars are a load of crap, and as political as anything else...

Saw signs last night...not bad actually, but I wouldn't say it was Oscar worthy.

Sight unseen....Two Towers.:)

More than likely its gonna be Chicago

If not that then probably About Schmidt, Gangs of New York or something along those lines, LOTR will not win it.

Agreed....LOTR will unfortunately only win best special effects if anything.

"Catch Me If You Can"

Great movie, and it doesn't even feature blood, gore, nudity, drug use, or violence!

But hey, I don't even know who the nominees are, so that's how in touch I am with the whole thing.

was too religion based (though slight) plot to win anything from the hollow-wood types

the awards show as a movie critic review mean nothin to me - usually feel 180 from their selection/opinion

That would be "Unfaithful" and I've heard that its being considered.
