1. Rachel Weiss
2. Tilda Swinton
3. Marcia Gay Harden

Tilda and Marcia are the only best supporting actress winners this decade I would have voted for (I would have voted for Michelle Williams over Rachel Weiss, but wonderfull Rachel was as impressive)

1. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
2. Million Dollar baby

(Titanic and Gladiator are the two best John Waters films ever :)
