For those of you named Oscar please do not take offense. I actually really like the name Oscar for human being or for a grouch just not for an award. I am trying to think of a name to call my Film Awards that I am beginning in March. Some of you already commented with a few of your thoughts. Without giving any certain order or category, here are the films that are in the running to be mentioned. Please add your nominations.

Forrest Gump
Lord of the Rings: Two Towers
A Beautiful Mind

The Bourne Ultimatum
Cinderella Man
Blood Diamond
Batman Begins
