1. BEST PICTURE (BY A FLUTTERING EYELASH)
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
On the film: "But his mind is unfettered, and so is the palette of Julian Schnabel—who turns out (whatever you think of his paintings) to be a major filmmaker, an artist whose grasp of light and texture and camera movement is both visually inspired and fused with the characters’ emotions. Somehow, the hero's plight becomes a metaphor for the human condition: It reminds us how submerged we all are, how distant from even the people we love."
