Crow(e) about your successCrowe was honoured for his role as a general turned slave turned fighter in "Gladiator." Crowe had been nominated for best actor last year for his portrayal of a tobacco company executive in "The Insider." Crowe defeated two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks ("Cast Away"), veteran Ed Harris ("Pollock"), Spaniard Javier Bardem ("Before Night Falls") and Geoffrey Rush ("Quills"), another previous winner, to pick up his first Oscar.
"I love the world""I love the world, I am so happy," said Roberts, a three-time nominee, after winning the best actress Oscar for her role as a real-life crusading and cleavage-bearing law clerk in "Erin Brockovich." Roberts played a tough-talking single mother who discovers that a powerful utility is poisoning the drinking water of a local community. She leads the fight against them and eventually wins a 333 million dollar settlement. Roberts won over four other nominees: Joan Allen ("The Contender"), Juliette Binoche ("Chocolat"), Ellen Burstyn ("Requiem for a Dream") and Laura Linney ("You Can Count on Me").

"Crouching Tiger" also picked up Oscars for best art direction, best original musical score and best cinematography.
