I saw this in the theater in Dallas and loved it so much, I haven't bothered to watch the Gere-Lopez version.

It won Best Picture and Lee won Best Director. Michelle Williams tied for Best Supporting Actress with Amy Adams. A foretaste of numerous awards to come.

March of the Penguins won Best Documentary. I was happy to see that because it was a very good movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would watch it again.
John Williams won Best Composer for Memoirs of a Geisha. I didn't see this movie, but I wonder if Williams (no relation to Michelle Williams, I'm sure) is tired of winning awards for his music?
Dame Judi Dench should have won Best Actress for her performance in Mrs. Henderson Presents, but lost to Reese Witherspoon.
Surprise! Peter Jackson's remake of King Kong won an award for Distinguished Achievement in Performing Arts. I think it's great when a science fiction movie or monster movie is recognized in any way. The Critics' Choice included it in their ten nominees for Best Picture.
George Clooney (swoon!) won the Freedom Award for his performance in Good Night, and Good Luck.
