Nicole or Renee? Jack or Daniel? The Academy Awards are in the home stretch, with the 75th awards Sunday offering a potential return to grace for the long-moribund musical and some intriguing possibilities in the acting and directing categories "I certainly would like to go to the theater to be lifted Harris previously had supporting-actor nominations for 1995's "Apollo 13" and 1998's "The Truman Show" and a lead-actor nomination for 2000's "Pollock," which he also directed " Daldry earned a previous directing nomination for 2000's "Billy Elliot " "About Schmidt" brought Kathy Bates her third nomination, as the salty

Oscar nomination for "The Quiet American," playing a British journalist in an adaptation of Graham Greene's novel about intrigue, murder and romance in 1950s Vietnam Longshots for best-director are Stephen Daldry for "The Hours" and Pedro Almodovar for the Spanish-language tale "Talk to Her After their breakup, Kidman's career took off with "Moulin Rouge" and the horror hit "The Others " With "Road to Perdition," Paul Newman earned his ninth nomination, gracefully playing a Depression-era crime boss torn between his own flawed offspring and an honorable surrogate son "I look at it now and think, it could have been a disaster walking around with this thing on my face, and nobody believing it " His exile from the United States, from which he fled in 1978 after pleading guilty to unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl, also provokes strong sentiments among Oscar voters, some feeling the crime should not be forgiven, others saying Polanski has suffered long enough "Far From Heaven," a throwback to the '50s melodramas of Douglas Sirk, brought Moore a best-actress nomination as a wife whose picture-perfect domestic life crumbles after her husband begins an affair with another man and she has a dalliance with her black gardener Moore earned a supporting-actress nomination as the despairing '50s wife in "The Hours For 12-time nominee Nicholson, it would be his fourth Oscar, tying Katharine Hepburn for most acting awards " With her dual nominations in categories loaded with top-notch performances, the four-time Oscar contender has joked that she could go home a "two-time loser" just in one night Brody earned his first Oscar nomination for playing Szpilman in "The Pianist " Nicholson and Day-Lewis appear to be the front-runners, though there's considerable new-kid-on-the-block sentiment for Brody "The Pianist" is based on the memoir of Holocaust survivor Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Jewish musician in Poland who managed to hide from the Nazis for years in the Warsaw ghetto The first-time nominees both hail from "Chicago": Catherine Zeta-Jones as a vaudeville scamp trying to capitalize on her celebrity after killing her hubby and sister, and Queen Latifah as an opportunistic jailer cashing in on the notoriety of her charges The harrowing film biography was directed by Roman Polanski, a Holocaust survivor himself Enough academy voters could be in lifetime-achievement mode to give Scorsese a statue " He was lured out of a five-year acting hiatus since 1997's "The Boxer" to play a garishly wicked crime boss in "Gangs of New York " In his 15-year career, Brody has focused on provocative films over commercial ones, such as Terrence Malick's "The Thin Red Line," Spike Lee's "Summer of Sam" and Steven Soderbergh's "King of the Hill R " The role earned Day-Lewis the best-actor honor from the Screen Actors Guild, which boosts his Oscar prospects " Walken's previous nomination brought him the supporting-actor Oscar for 1978's "The Deer Hunter Newman won the best-actor Oscar for 1986's "The Color of Money" and received honorary Academy Awards for lifetime achievement and for humanitarian efforts Only five times in the 55-year history of the guild award has the winner there failed to take home the best-director Oscar A look at nominees in top categories: Best Picture "Chicago" has emerged as the film to beat, earning a leading 13 nominations, dominating earlier movie awards, soaring past the $100 million mark at the box office and proving itself a true crowd-pleaser in the vein of old-time Hollywood musicals Reilly, who had a breakout year as a cuckolded husband in "Chicago," plus supporting roles in best-picture nominees "Gangs of New York" and "The Hours "Gangs" has the sweeping historical scope that often grabs academy members, but reaction to the film has been too mixed " Her stiffest competition comes from Renee Zellweger for "Chicago" and Julianne Moore for "Far From Heaven," with Salma Hayek of "Frida" and Diane Lane of "Unfaithful" just along for the ride For years, Kidman had earned acclaim in such movies as "Flirting" and "To Die For" but always remained in Cruise's shadow R "Chicago" is adapted from the Bob Fosse stage hit about two jailed Jazz Age murderesses competing for tabloid fame Previously nominated for supporting actress with 1997's "Boogie Nights" and lead actress with 1999's "The End of the Affair," Moore grabbed two nominations this time for playing two very different 1950s housewives I think we all do Best Supporting Actress This arguably is the most competitive acting category, with strong performances from past winners and nominees and two newcomers Day-Lewis previously won the best-actor Oscar for 1989's "My Left Foot" and was nominated for 1993's "In the Name of the Father Scorsese's "Gangs" is considered inferior to his best work Kramer" and the best-actress Oscar for 1982's "Sophie's Choice Best Actor Four nominees already have at least one Oscar: Nicolas Cage ("Adaptation"), Michael Caine ("The Quiet American"), Daniel Day-Lewis ("Gangs of New York") and Jack Nicholson ("About Schmidt") Musicals can lift you in ways that non-musicals can't Cage's only other nomination earned him the best-actor Oscar for 1995's "Leaving Las Vegas The uplifting spirit of musicals historically helped Americans through the Depression, World War II and other hard times "It's just that I don't do it very often " In "About Schmidt," Nicholson is uncharacteristically drab and dwarfish as a retired insurance man re-examining his meager accomplishments after his wife's death Likewise, "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" â€â€? the middle chapter of J " Lane's nomination is especially noteworthy since it came for a modest box-office success released early in the year " With "The Hours," Kidman hid behind a fake nose and melancholy demeanor to capture the plain, gloomy appearance of author Woolf I'm relieved that it worked Streep won the supporting-actress Oscar for 1979's "Kramer vs "The Hours" is adapted from Michael Cunningham's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel focusing on three women: Disconsolate author Virginia Woolf as she begins her novel "Mrs " Nominated in the directing category twice before, for 1974's "Chinatown" and 1980's "Tess," Roman Polanski has some lifetime-achievement momentum for "The Pianist But when I do do it, I love what I do " Best Actress A first-time winner is guaranteed to walk away with the Oscar here, and the smart money is on Nicole Kidman for "The Hours Though exceeding its predecessor, "The Fellowship of the Ring," at the box office, "The Two Towers" earned just six Oscar nominations, compared to 13 for "Fellowship Bates won the best-actress Oscar for 1990's "Misery" and earned a supporting-actress nomination for 1998's "Primary Colors The newcomer is Adrien Brody, star of "The Pianist " Hayek and Lane are first-time nominees Surprisingly, Scorsese has been nominated for best director three times previously â€â€? for 1980's "Raging Bull," 1988's "The Last Temptation of Christ" and 1990's "GoodFellas" â€â€? but never won an Oscar Hayek shared producing credit on "Frida " Then there's Julianne Moore, nominated for playing the Woolf-fixated '50s mother in "The Hours The vengeance epic "Gangs of New York," set on the mean streets of lower Manhattan during the Civil War, looks like a longshot for best picture In "Frida," Hayek plays the spirited Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, a labor of love for the Hispanic actress, who worked for years to bring the story to the screen " His dual-role performance in "Adaptation" generally is considered his best work in the seven years since, when Cage focused heavily on action movies and other commercial flicks As a writer dying of AIDS in "The Hours," Ed Harris grabbed his fourth nomination " As the toothless flower poacher, character actor Cooper gives one of his most memorable performances in a career that includes such notable films as "American Beauty," "Lone Star" and "October Sky Even though `Chicago' is a cynical, dark satire, I do think there's a great deal of joy in the piece, as well Tolkien's fantasy adventure â€â€? is a longshot "She was just amazed and so pleased that the show had that kind of lasting power and entertainment because she loved to make people laugh," Lemack said In addition to her daughter, Sanford is survived by two sons, Sanford Sanford and Eric Richmond; seven grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren "Here with stars in my eyes â€â€? something that I dreamed about when I was 9 years
