HOME | MOVIES Last year, Julia Roberts walked away with the Oscar, for her ebullient role in Erin Brockovich. This year, picking the winner looks tough -- will it be popular choice Nicole Kidman (Moulin Rouge)? Or critics' pick Sissy Spacek (In The Bedroom)? Then again, there's also Golden Globe winner Halle Berry (Monster's Ball) with her powerful performance as a widow.
