You see other lists, and go, "d'oh, I should have listed that". Well, also, "What are you people? On dope?" Maybe for next year go with a nominations / vote procedure. (Royal Tennenbaums is my biggest regret not putting on my list, not the least because the Criterion(!) two disc set sold for about $20 CDN (about half the price of the usual Criteron sets). Which also explains why I'm waiting for Punch Drunk Love on DVD, because I expect it will be fabulous.) 4271@blogcritics.org Thu, 6 Mar 2003 17:12:39 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/03/02/185422.php#comment-4258 Books: Best Nonfiction: Fast Food Nation Best Fiction: Atonement Film: Best film: Morvern Callar Best actor: Russell Crowe Best Actress: Audrey Tautou Best director: Jean-Pierre Jeunet TV: Best drama series: Law & Order Best comedy series: Buffy, Vampire Slayer DVD/Video: Best release of the year: Blue Velvet 4258@blogcritics.org Thu, 6 Mar 2003 13:02:14 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/03/02/185422.php#comment-4236 Best Film: spiderman Best actor: george w. bush Best Actress: winona ryder TV: n/a!
