2000 was a great year for film! My top 10 would include: 10. Traffic 9. The Virgin Suicides 8. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 7. Almost Famous 6. American Psycho 5. Amores Perros 4. Yi Yi 3. Requiem for a Dream 2. In the Mood for Love 1. Gladiator Gladiator actually seems like a pretty generic choice when compared to the rest of these, but I can’t help it. Ridley directed the heck out of it (and would’ve been my pick for Best Director). I would’ve gone with Burstyn in Actress and inserted Christian Bale for Actor.
My top 10 would be: 1. Dancer in the dark and Unbreakable (tie) 2. Amores Perros 3. Gladiator. 4. American Psycho 5. Brother 2 6. Requiem for a dream 7. Snatch 8. Memento 9. In the mood for love 10. Code Unknown
It helps that Marcia's role is honestly a leading one and is playing the Academy's favorite role of a long suffering wife. It's definitely the juiciest role of the five.
1. *Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon* 2. *Center Stage* (one of my favorite comfort movies, the beauty of dance and the unfairness of the industry and other similar athlete/artistic pursuits; expertly edited, keenly directed and photographed, great music, charming cast with Donna Murphy and Zoe Saldana being nomination worthy) 3. *Chocolat* (another comfort movie, gave me great guidance as a young person to stand up against conservative family and society, brilliant music and production design and acting) 4. *Erin Brockovich* 5. *You Can Count On Me* 6. *Almost Famous* 7. *Requiem for a Dream* 8. *Little Otik* 9. *Traffic* 10. *In the Mood for Love* I loved Gladiator when I was young, and still appreciate it, but there are definitely flaws, trying too hard at times to be frenetically stylized, and some overearnestness and clunky CGI.

Chris- please tell your wife that I was invited to MacArthur Genius Award winner, Paul Taylor’s home for the weekend. He is one of the Masters of modern dance. And I made him watch, Bring It Own. My favorite movie of the day. He loathed it. I was dating one of his principal dancers, whom promptly broke up with me shortly thereafter. True story!
My favourite part of this series is Christopher making a enthused declaration about a movie and Joyce saying “No.”
Please keep doing these videos, they're great.
Please, continue with the playbacks!!!
Another awesome episode, I love these! Definitely a real highlight for me, appreciate the hard work you guys put into it
Sincerely hope that you continue with these forever! ❤️ Looking forward to the discussion on the 2007 ceremony :)

In The Mood For Love #1
I still remember the surprise look on her face when Marcia won! I miss those surprise winners faces! Everything is a given now.
I actually think the last part of Castaway is very good. The scene between him and Helen Hunt at the end is well played.
It helps that Marcia's role is honestly a leading one and is playing the Academy's favorite role of a long suffering wife. It's definitely the juiciest role of the five.
I went into Gladiator not wanting to like it but how could one ever not. So great!!! Though #3 of the year, Crouching Tiger, 2, Mood For Love #1.

Great episode.
"Middlebrow trash"...wow... the Shipping News isn't THAT bad
Gladiator is my 10th favorite movie of all time and deserved all its awards that year
