The nominations for the 74th Annual Academy Awards will be announced on the morning of February 12th,2002. The awards will be presented March 24, 2002, at the Kodak Theater. Note: I have included my predictions for whom I think the Academy will nominate (which may include movies I have not seen, noted in red) and who I think should be nominated. Movies I have seen and or reviewed will be in blue and linked. Not all categories will be covered, and not all categories will have dual picks (only if there is a difference). Stay tuned here for the results of my guesses and the official list of nominations.
