Someone's cribbing to know who'll eliminate what. I wish Damien were right behind me as I know what I'd give him.
Anyway, I have no problem at all eliminating the overindulgent Al Pacino and replacing him with a, perhaps shocking for some, wonderful, understated performance by Stephen Rea in The Crying Game.
It's harder to toss these to people I don't know, but this should be the true test...
Zahveed, you have Best Actor, 1998.

Oh, that's no so tough for me, though it may be controversial for some people:
I'll eliminate Schindler's List as the winner and replace it with The Piano.
So far, it seems to me that the order of play, as of now, is:
Penelope
OscarGuy
Zahveed
Bog
FilmFan70
(C'mon guys, we need some more players!)
Ok, so, OscarGuy, you're next: Best Actor 1992.

Actually a tougher one, with all of the nominees so far superior to probably the worst winner this category has ever seen. I'll replace Mel Gibson with Tim Robbins for Dead Man Walking.
OK Penelope, lets get a little tougher here...or at least possible a little more controversial...Best Picture 1993.
