'RIVER''S FLOW ''Mystic River'' (starring Oscar nominees Sean Penn and Marcia Gay Harden) has heat going into the SAG Awards
Mystic River: Merie W. Wallace
Predicted Winner ''The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King''
Possible Upset ''Mystic River''
No Way ''Lost in Translation,'' ''Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World,'' ''Seabiscuit''
