    • Trivia
      Of the twenty nominated actors that year, Sean Penn was the only one not in attendance. Best Actor nominee Will Smith did attend the ceremony with his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, but they left after the Honorary Award tribute to Sidney Poitier to take care of their then-infant daughter, Willow Smith, who had to be hospitalized due to a high fever.
    • Quotes

      Denzel Washington: Two birds in one night, huh? Oh, God is good. God is great. God is great. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you all. Forty years I've been chasing Sidney

      [Poitier]

      Denzel Washington: , they finally give it to me, what'd they do? They give it to him the same night. I'll always be chasing you, Sidney. I'll always be following in your footsteps. There's nothing I would rather do, sir. Nothing I would rather do. God bless you. God bless you. I want to thank the Academy. You know, when I was in college first starting out as an actor, they asked each one of us what we wanted to do. I said I want to be the best actor in the world. All the students in the classroom looked at me like I was a nut. Life has taught me to just try and be the best that I can be, and I thank the Academy for saying to me that on this given night I was the best that I could be. I want to thank Warner Bros. and Alan Horn and Lorenzo di Bonaventura for supporting this film. And Antoine Fuqua, a brilliant young filmmaker, African-American filmmaker. I don't know where you are, Antoine, love you. Ethan Hawke, my partner in crime. So many people, I can't even remember everybody, lawyers, doctors, agents... My beautiful agent, Ed Limato. We've been together for so many years. Hometown boy from Mount Vernon. My beautiful wife. I love you so much. You put up with me, in spite of myself. And my beautiful children at home. I told you if I lost tonight I would come home and we'd celebrate and if I won tonight I would come home and we'd celebrate. Well, I'm coming home, we're celebrating. God bless you all.

    The Winners should have been different
    The Winners should have been different by far.

    Best Supporting Actress: Maggie Smith-Gosford Park

    Best Supporting Actor: Ian McKellen-The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

    Best Actress: Nicole Kidman-Moulin Rouge

    Best Actor: Russel Crowe-A Beautiful Mind

    Best Director: Peter Jackson-The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

    Best Picture: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

    But that is just my humble opinion. Oh well, maybe I'll like the choices for 2003(4) since I didn't for 2001(2) and did for 2002(3).
