Oscar Drumbeat Continues for "Brokeback," "Crash" and "Gromit"

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were Rabbit swept the Hollywood aniimation awards, called the Annies. It took 9 in all, beatiing up on Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle and Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. That makes it the prohibitive favorite at the Oscars. At the Writers Guild Award, everyone got to smile. Brokeback Mountain won best adapted screenplay, Crash won best original screenplay and Good Night and Good Luck won a special award. If you can draw any conclusions from that, you're a better person than I.

What would you bet your money on? Brokeback for Best Picture or Brokeback for Best Director?

I'd say Ang Lee for director of Brokeback is the lock of the night in the big categories. And Wallace & Grmit is the lock for animated film.
