Oscar Nominations
BEST PICTURE
A boxing melodrama; a bittersweet buddy road comedy; a biopic of an eccentric billionaire; a biopic of a musical legend; and (yet another) biopic, this one about "Peter Pan"'s author, vie for the Academy's most prestigious prize.
"The Aviator"
Leonardo DiCaprio stars as the ambitious billionaire/movie producer/aviation pioneer Howard Hughes in this flashy biopic directed by Martin Scorsese.
"Finding Neverland"
This magic-infused drama examines writer J.M. Barrie's intimate friendship with a family, which leads him to write "Peter Pan."
"Million Dollar Baby"
A disillusioned old trainer and his former boxer are taken aback when a spunky woman seeks their help in achieving her dream of entering the ring.
"Ray"
Jamie Foxx plays legendary (and often emotionally tortured) soul/R&B artist Ray Charles in Taylor Hackford's melodramatic musical biopic.
"Sideways"
Filmmaker Alexander Payne's wistful comic drama follows two college buddies -- in full-blown mid-life crises -- as they take a road trip through California's wine country.
