Best Picture, with Hanks as a close alternative

‘Apollo 13’Rob Mahoney

Leans toward Adapted Screenplay for its smart choices, but ultimately would take Best Picture if the competition is Braveheart

Agrees Best Supporting Actor was flawed that year (Martin Landau won); implies it should have gone to Samuel L. Jackson instead, though that's for Pulp Fiction not Speed

Best Director for Jan de Bont, over Tarantino, giving him love since he never won a competitive Oscar

‘The Italian Job’Bill Simmons

Agrees with Stunts

‘The Italian Job’Chris Ryan

Stunts (proposing a stunt driver/stunt Oscar category as the win)

Peter Cetera, for 'Glory of Love' (ASR renders him 'Peter's Tara') — chosen over Morita, Nobu McCarthy and Sato
