My Own Oscars...[sort of]

With a lack of topic ideas and last night's Oscars (which I only saw a minute or 2 of) in mind, I figured it might be fun to discuss movies a bit myself.

How about my own "Oscars"--favorites in various categories, etc. Doubt any of you care much, but let's give it a whirl, anyway.

Note: Individual awards will be lifetime achievement awards, of sorts. These are also limited to semi-recent movies or at least ones I've actually seen--sorry.

Note 2: I will provide links to each person/movie that I pick as a winner--just for fun. Just hover over the name and click for their IMDb profile. And also a short video clip of an amazing acceptance speech at the end. Enjoy!
