Hey folks, Harry here... You looking for early Oscar race indicators? Well, The Academy very rarely goes along with the BAFTAs, and the awards tend to be bent a bit towards the British angle (naturally) but it seems, at least in England, that GLADIATOR is a bit of a gorilla with CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON forming a mean second place... though of much interest to me is that of the 3 films that picked up best film awards... GLADIATOR, CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON and BILLY ELLIOT... the director award went to Ang Lee, symbolizing to a degree that CTHD was in fact the better of the 3. Something to ponder, here's the awards and where they went...
