My Comments:
I wish Leo had gotten his nomination for Titanic because I think he was even better than Kate was. I also think he could have least gone. But, he had his reasons.
I knew Helen Hunt would win for Best Actress, but I was still hoping Kate Winslet would. Same with Kim Basinger and Gloria Stuart. I also knew Men in Black would win for make-up. I mean, come on!
I really like the way Billy Crystal puts himself in the best picture nominees. It's really funny. I was always like to see what he chose to do. I also liked "Oscar's Family Album." That was cool.
Well, I guess that's it. It was a good night for Titanic and I'm very glad they got so many awards.
