I suspect those are your five Oscar Best Picture nominees as well. Not that the Producers always agree with the Academy, which is an industry-wide nomination. For example, last year the producers nominated "The Hurricane" and "Being John Malkovich," in addition to "AB," "CHR" and "The Insider" -- the Oscars chose "The Green Mile" and "Sixth Sense" instead. Those were the two "populist" nominees, of course. Well, this year "Erin Brockovich" and "Gladiator" are this year's two potential "populist" nominees -- and the producers already chose them.
