 Tom Hanks and his
troop are sent to retrieve a soldier whose three brothers have already been killed. A
mediocre plot and Hollywood posturing are decimated by powerful Second World War battle
scenes. This brutal, violent film is not for the weak.
Also nominated for Best Actor
(Tom Hanks), Best Original Score (John Williams).
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS:
Joan Allen
BEST ORIGINAL SCORE: Randy Newman
Twin teens from a broken home
are transported to a fictional, idealised television town named Pleasantville. A fine
script is matched by excellent acting. A couple of heavy-handed scenes of social
commentary are all that mar this excellent effort.
Also nominated for Best
Cinematography (John Lindley) and Best Film Editing (William Goldenberg).
Finished fourth in
nominations for Best Film.
BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: Andrew
Niccol
 A deliciously
vicious and intelligent satire on the media who manipulate us, and the audience who
encourages it. Jim Carrey is great as the man caught in the middle and Ed Harris is
suitably evil as his tormentor.
Also nominated for Best Film,
Best Director (Peter Weir), Best Supporting Actor (Ed Harris), Best Film Editing (William
M. Anderson and Lee Smith).
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR:
Billy Bob Thornton
Also nominated for Best
Adapted Screenplay (Scott B. Smith).

BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY: Scott Frank
A civilized, handsome career
criminal and a feminine, tough law enforcer fall in love in this hard-boiled romance.
Adapted from an Elmore Leonard novel, irony, charm and visual cadence are fused into an
intelligent and witty script.
Also nominated for Best Film
Editing (Anne V. Coats).
Finished tenth in nominations
for Best Picture.

 This film's first half is an enchanting look at Guido's courtship of Dora
in 1939 Italy. The second half takes us to a concentration camp, where Guido struggles to
keep his family alive. A powerful, unforgettable film. Bravo Roberto Benigni.
