Scintillating Round 2 results: a late-game injury to Neve Campbell helped Nashville overcome The Company, while A Prairie Home Companion caught Tanner '88 looking past the primary and pulled off a minor upset. McCabe & Mrs. Miller ignored Dick Nixon's epithets and handily defeated Secret Honor; on the other hand, the wacky surgeons of M*A*S*H paid a steep price for their hangovers and were stunned by Cookie's Fortune.Another major upset: a few punches to the gut were all Popeye needed to knock off Gosford Park. Short Cuts survived a tight contest with California Split. And the heavily favored The Player rewrote the script to the underdog hopes of A Wedding.
Elite Eight, Key Matchups: Will Barbara Jean meet the Angel of Death when Nashville takes on A Prairie Home Companion? And how will team captains Philip Marlowe and Griffin Mill try to outsmart each other when The Long Goodbye squares off against The Player in what Variety is already hyping as "The Battle of L.A."? Stay tuned!

Awesome! The two big upsets I would have made in my bracket make it in yours (Cookie' Fortune and Popeye)...the only difference we would have so far is The Long Goodbye over 3 Woman...the latter is one of my absolute favorite Altman's.
Glad your bracket's going strong, Kev. As for Long Goodbye v. 3 Women, let's just say that Mark Rydell is a mean sumbitch.
This is really cool.
My god, Long Goodbye and 3 Women are my two very favorites, talk about tough choices.
