Scratch what I said about Tina Fey for Best Supporting Actress. Rachel McAdams is CLEARLY the worthy one here.

ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND for BEST PICTURE/BEST OVERLOOKED FILM
"One of those rare callaborations that artists dream of and that film lovers crave. A film of flawless performances... one you'll remember vividly, with profound pleasure." -- Joe Morgenstern, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
"A masterpiece? Probably. Ingenious? Absolutely! Unforgettable? I'll see you at the 10th-year anniversary."
-- Jack Mathews, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
"Capturing the joys and pains of romantic obsession as few filmmakers have before, Gondry and Kaufman have come up with a masterpiece."
-- Josh Ralske, ALL MOVIE GUIDE
"Charlie Kaufman and Michel Gondry's second collaboration is a mind-melting, dramatic masterpiece."
-- Jeff Otto, IGN FILMFORCE
"Two mad geniuses and a lot of other talented people transform the crazy ideas embedded in Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind into a shimmering work of sheer brilliance."
-- Bruce Kirkland, JAM! MOVIES
MICHEL GONDRY, ETERNAL SUNSHINE for BEST DIRECTOR
"You constantly appreciate Kaufman's intelligence and Gondry's lively filmmaking."
"... Gondry deserves extra credit for conjuring the right images to match the story’s wickedly clever asides."
-- Sean O'Connell, FILMCRITIC.COM
CHARLIE KAUFMAN, ETERNAL SUNSHINE for BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
"... Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is by far the most emotionally satisfying film based on one of Kaufman's scripts."
-- Peter Sobczynski, CRITIC DOCTOR
"[H]ow does Kaufman keep coming up with these things? How does he keep remembering to forget all the rules?"
-- Austin O'Connor, LOWELL SUN
KATE WINSLET for BEST ACTRESS
"Kate Winslet gives a groundbreaking performance. One of the best actresses anywhere, she is electrifying."
-- Peter Travers, ROLLING STONES
"Kate Winslet's performance is, so far, the most original and thrilling acting in an American film this year."
-- Lynn Hirschberg, THE NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE
"Kate Winslet has scenes of such unmitigated tenderness that just thinking about them can make you sigh."
-- Manohla Dargis, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"Kate winslet creates such a vivid, realistic character that you half expect to run into Clementine upon leaving the movie."
-- Leah Rozen, PEOPLE
Also consider Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for:
BEST FILM EDITING
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY
BEST SCORE/SOUNDTRACK
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
BEST ART DIRECTION
And everything else!!
PEACE, Mike

I discussed this with him. I'm trying to get him to do a Back-N-Forth w/ Dolcevita on Bad Education because he...*drumroll*...hated it. He claimed to be midly disturbed by the homosexuals and the fact that it didn't "convey" anything.
Just playing, Lecter.
