If you listened to the Awards Circuit Power Hour two weeks ago, then you heard the winners read for the Awards Circuit Community Awards – Year 1999. For those who didn’t have the chance to listen to the winners, the full list is down below. As you can see, the readership of the Awards Circuit still agrees that Sam Mendes’ American Beauty was the best film of the year seen by the wins in Best Picture, Director, and Original Screenplay.
Kevin Spacey reclaimed his title, winning Best Actor in a Leading Role over Russell Crowe. While in the real world, Annette Bening has never received recognition from AMPAS, she was chosen over Oscar-winner Hilary Swank. In the Supporting categories Tom Cruise was awarded for his performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia while Angelina Jolie reclaimed her prize for Girl, Interrupted. PT Anderson’s film also won Best Cast Ensemble. In Adapted Screenplay, Jim Uhls triumphed for penning David Fincher’s Fight Club, the only award the film received surprisingly, given it was the most nominated film with twelve.
The full winners are listed below. The longlist will be released in the next few days for Year 1998 where Shakespeare in Love triumphed over Saving Private Ryan. Will it happen or again or will another film like The Truman Show or Pleasantville swoop in? Look out for it.
