2007 Academy Awards

[AOII_LB93]

My wish list:

Best Picture: The Departed (And I hope Marty finally gets his Oscar...I mean seriously...the man is a great director)

Actress: Judi Dench or Helen Mirren

Supporting actress: Cate Blanchett

Actor: Leo Di Caprio (He should have been nominated for The Departed, he was great...and I've disliked most of his movies in the past.)

Supporting Actor: Djimon Hounsou or Marky Mark.


Am I allowed to say how thrilled I am that Beyonce didn't get a nomination? She really wasn't that good in Dreamgirls...and come to think of it, the movie was ok, but I can't say that I was disappointed that it wasn't nominated.

it's my opinion (and it is part of what i do for a living--predicting hollywood stuff)--that Whitaker, Mirren, Hudson and Murphy pretty much have their Oscars sewn up. Mirren especially. The other 3 might be overtaken as time goes on, but I doubt it.

Best Pic is a race between Babel and The Departed with Little Miss Sunshine having a small chance of pulling off a Crash like upset.

Departed wins Best Picture. I didn't see Lettters from Iwo Jima......but Flags of our Fathers was extremely average, can't see Letters being that much better.

Flags was average. Iwo Jima was incredible. But still... I don't see it winning.
