So there is that to think on...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Last 20 Golden Globe and Oscar winners. Keep in mind that the Golden Globes don't have one "best picture". These are best drama except where otherwise noted.<P>1984 Amadeus --> Amadeus<BR>1985 Out Of Africa --> Out of Africa<BR>1986 Platoon --> Platoon<BR>1987 The Last Emperor --> The Last Emperor<BR>1988 Rain Man --> Rain Man<BR>1989 Driving Miss Daisy (comedy or musical) --> Driving Miss Daisy<BR>1990 Dances With Wolves --> Dances With Wolves<BR>1991 Bugsy --> The Silence of the Lambs<BR>1992 Scent Of A Woman --> Unforgiven<BR>1993 Schindler's List --> Schindler's List<BR>1994 Forrest Gump --> Forrest Gump<BR>1995 Sense And Sensibility --> Braveheart<BR>1996 The English Patient --> The English Patient<BR>1997 Titanic --> Titanic<BR>1998 Shakespeare in Love (comedy or musical) --> Shakespeare in Love<BR>1999 American Beauty --> American Beauty<BR>2000 Gladiator --> Gladiator<BR>2001 A Beautiful Mind --> A Beautiful Mind<BR>2002 Chicago (comedy or musical) --> Chicago<BR>2003 Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King/Lost In Translation --> ????<P>16 for 19. Not bad odds, though it should be mentioned that Lost In Translation could win and still keep this pattern going.<P>13 out of 19 best drama winners go on to win the best picture oscar, though.<P>H.C.<P>[ 9:22 PM January 29, 2004: Message edited by: HCIsland ]<p>[ 10:04 PM January 29, 2004: Message edited by: HCIsland ]
