Golden Globes be damned!

Having watched the maximum number of movies last year, as opposed to previous years, thought would take a shot on what would be MY picks last yr (this is totally based on movies I saw last yr..).

So here we go, Vj's picks (note that its just one main category, I dont agree with the idea of breaking it down by drama vs. comedy to send more celebs back home happy):
Best Actor: Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda - wonderful movie & a job very well done by Don Cheadle, he carried the movie completely on his shoulders..)
Best Actress: Hillary Swank vs. Kate Winslet - Hillary Swank (Million $ Baby)
Best Director: Clint Eastwood (I actually attended the red-carpet premiere of Mystic River & saw the celebs within 6-ft distance; Laura Linney's beauty was radiant! His dark movies with a subtle positive underlying theme in both movies was interesting.)
Best Supporting Actor: Jamie Foxx (Collateral. 2004 may be the year when Jamie Foxx finally arrived, he definitely deserved an award last night..)
Best Supporting Actress: Natalie Portman (Closer. She, along with, Scarlett Johansson are 2 young actresses who are very talented AND look stunning!)

..hopefully the Oscar guys are reading.. :)

Awards apart, what was my favorite movie last year - would have to be between Kill Bill 2 and this indie documentary called, Born Into Brothels (http://www.bornintobrothels.org).
