I think the choices you made for the first two as should win are very interesting considering that I read that Phoenix and Dillon's performances were both good, but serviceable as opposed to noteworthy like the others. And that instead of William Hurt from A History of Violence that Ed Harris should have gotten the nomination.

I've only watched two of the Best Movie choices so far, but a friend of mine said Crash should get it.
