Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

(Actual winner: Gladiator)


While there is no doubt that Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" is a success, there were more brilliant selections for The Best Picture of the 73rd Academy Awards, ranging from Ang Lee's Wuxia classic "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to Steven Soderbergh's Best Director-winning drug trafficking epic "Traffic."


Either picture merited the Oscar award for Best Picture over "Gladiator," but "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" edged out "Gladiator" in terms of jaw-dropping technique. If the Academy wanted to award Best Picture in 2001 to a major period film with heart-pounding action scenes and beautiful craftsmanship, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was the obvious choice.
