I'm not sure what you all think about the Oscars or if you watch... but I love watching! I've seen every movie nominated for Best Picture and have seen pretty much every movie up for awards, minus the documentaries. It was a pretty good year for movies I think... and all of the films up for Best Picture are very good. You might say, "hey i'm a hard riding busa owner so no way am i gonna watch the queen or babel!"... but both of those movies are very good. I am sure The Departed would be the movie everyone here would say is the best (me included!), but the other movies are very good even though at first glance they might appear to be boring. Out of all the Best Picture nominees I think Letters From Iwo Jima is the worst film (of the 5).... that might seem shocking, but it's a film we've pretty much seen before and doesn't offer anything that's very memorable compared to the other films in the same category. I did like it, but not as much as the others. I think it's a race between Babel and The Departed. I want The Departed to win, but if Babel wins... that's ok because it's a very good film. Anyway, I'll be watching.... but I wish Children of Men was up for more awards because that really was the best movie of the year, bar none!
