This is quite simply one of the finest films I ever seen. The closing twenty or so mins equal that of the opening twenty mins of Saving Private Ryan.
A fantastic film. Such a shame that it may go un-noticed at the Academy Awards.

Okay, now bear with me here, but Little Miss Sunshine is no Driving Miss Daisy - the last film to win Picture without its director nominated. A Little Miss Sunshine win seems to me a little reminiscent of the Crash victory last year. I don't know why. Call it an easy choice win. At this point I see...

Perhaps you're ignoring the Crash win a little too prematurely, OscarGuy. Maybe the Academy is changing its tune to Best Picture winners? Okay, even I don't believe that. Crash was good, but not Best Picture GOOD. However, you seem to be very insistent that Dreamgirls will triumph. I don't buy that...

The same guy from Goldderby that I mentioned in the SAG/WGA/DGA thread also said that only Graham King was listed by the PGA as a producer on The Departed, which may mean that Brad Pitt (and Brad Grey) will not be credited as producers for Academy purposes. That makes little to no sense, as Pitt an...

Quote (OscarGuy @ Jan. 03 2007,20:48) What is it about The Departed that doesn't feel right? I liked the movie but it doesn't seem like any other Oscar winner. It's not big and beautiful...it's very normal. It isn't a message movie and I just can't understand the love/appreciation that would earn i...

I could see The Departed but where did this Leo stuff come from? He's as far away from an Oscar as an actor can get. I get your point, OscarGuy, it is very much a long-shot. We have both Whitiker and O'Toole leading ahead of him, but I just can't see Whitiker winning. His film seems too small, and ...
