The correct answer is 'The Verdict'
Paul Newman provided one of his most impactful performances in this gut wrenching courtroom drama, but alas he was up against Ben Kingsley ('Gandhi') and Dustin Hoffman ('Tootsie') that year.

'City of God' (or 'Cidade de Deus') was co-directed by Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund. The filmmaking is simply stunning, and the story must be seen to be believed. Many of the children who performed in the film were amateur actors, several of whom were from the slums of Rio de Janiero where the film is set.
