Gangs of New York (2002)

Happy birthday to Jim and John
It was nominated for practically everything in 2003: Best Picture; Best Actor in a Leading Role for Daniel Day-Lewis; Best Art Direction-Set Decoration; Best Cinematography; Best Costume Design; Best Director for Martin Scorsese; Best Editing; Best Music, Original Song for the song "The Hands That Built America"; Best Sound; and Best Writing, Original Screenplay. It won nothing. Sure, it won a Golden Globe for Scorcese and U2, and 31 other awards at other ceremonies, but it had the unfortunate luck to come out in a year of great films: The Pianist, Almodóvar 's Hable con ella, Road to Perdition, of course, Chicago, and even Eminem beat out U2.
That doesn't diminish a great story, it just makes it hard to see amongst all the other stars out there in the sky.
Besides Daniel Day-Lewis, I enjoyed Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz in their roles, and I always enjoy Liam Neeson.
Kudos also to Jim Broadbent and John C. Reilly., who both had major roles in this film and are celebrating their birthdays today.
