For Best Picture: "Frost/Nixon"
The 37th President
Adapted by Peter Morgan from his stage play, the film goes behind the scenes of the negotiations to arrange the interviews. But problems over money -- no network would buy the interview, forcing Frost and his team to seek a syndication deal while funding Nixon's $600,000 fee out of pocket -- are overcome by a weightier issue: How much would Nixon reveal about the criminality of Watergate?
