I feel that my selection should be in the Best Actress category since the way things go Julie Walters may be replaced by 'Christine'. But since i also fear that 'Cujo' himself could appear in the Best Actor category, i preserve Albert Finney.

The Adapted Screenplay of 'Educating Rita' is preserved by Hustler
Oops - good catch, Educating Rita, not The Dresser, is preserved in that category.

I didn't catch too much of Schweitzer's speech. What little I saw seemed to be in the style of an evangelical minister.

I liked Hillary's "get over it" speech, but the best of the evening I thought was Mark Warner's keynote address.

Group 1 A logical replacement for Glenn Close night be Mary Kay Place who is equally effective in The Big Chill, but Tess Harper in Tender Mercies is as strong as any of the nominees except for Linda Hunt. Nevertheless I will overcome my temptation to put her in as a replacement for Cher and preser...
