'99 wasn't for one reason: Many Academy members were probably uncomfortable having American Beauty be a big five winner so soon after The Silence of the Lambs. The shortest wait between the three big five winners was the sixteen between One Flew and Silence, with an average wait of twenty-three years. It was never going to happen in '99.

But both of them are great and I predicted Benning for the nomination only because I can't see Moore being nominated alone and I don't think they would nominate two actresses from the same film.<br /><br />But, regardless of nominations, I will never forget the night I saw this at the <i>Library</i> in Park City, in a theatre full of big shots, and me 5 feet away of Julianne Moore.adelutzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500491363721543846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-91388315927448501022010-04-14T15:46:02.015-04:002010-04-14T15:46:02.015-04:00Sank or Swank who cares!!!!Sank or Swank who cares!!!!mrripleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-54198407434215147712010-04-14T15:45:30.307-04:002010-04-14T15:45:30.307-04:00I worried about annette when she did that awful re...I worried about annette when she did that awful remake of the women with meg "i'll only work in this town again in dtv movies" ryan but she definitley got her mojo on track this year.<br /><br />my only worry hears the jaws theme is hilary sank in betty ann waters.mrripleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-26138800546692402332010-04-14T15:41:23.237-04:002010-04-14T15:41:23.237-04:00I really liked the trailer, it looks very promisin...I really liked the trailer, it looks very promising.
