the new york times had three of its movie critics weighing in with their oscar predictions last week. each of them had to pick a 'will win', 'should win', and 'should've been a contender' and two of three picked 'talk to her' in that third category. certainly would have been the best of the year if they'd asked me. and the movie really should have been nominated
and in 'best director' (where almodsvar IS nominated) two of three picked him for 'should'. but they all three picked scorsese to win. here's the link. http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/movies/20030308_OSCARS/cul_OSCARS_flash .html patrick, who thinks 'y tu mama tambien' should have had more chances to win np - leo brouwer - guitar concerto no. 6 'helsinki'
