101 Babel +365
102 The Departed -125
103 Little Miss Sunshine +305
104 Any Other +725

this is at the greek

i have not seen any of theese movies but from the opinions i have read the departed looks pretty strong

most people think scorsese is ALMOST a lock for best director so i think that can't hurt

opinions?

Little Miss Sunshine is gettin a lot of talk about maybe taking it

looks kinda gay based on the trailer but whatever

sounds like departed vs Little Miss Sunshine

Saw the first 20 minutes of the departed and it looked great. I can't wait to see the rest.

just saw the departed

it was good but i was not blown away

liked it all except the end which i thought was unoriginal. it may have trouble getting best picture. have not seen the other choices yet.

I haven't even heard of any of these movies besdies the Departed....I got a good tip from a guy on here about the Departed...i played it small.

I think though a lot of the sharps are on Little Miss Sunshine....

The only one I've seen is the Departed. It was good but if it wins Best Picture then it's been a really weak year for movies.

goldengoat · 02-26-2007, 12:31 AM

thank god the departed won...i needed it...was worried though

the yahoo critics average works again

Illusion · 02-26-2007, 12:34 AM

I am also glad it won. It was also good to see Martin Scorsese finally get a statue.

BuddyBear · 02-26-2007, 12:52 AM

Yeah congrats GG...i won too with the Departed. Not sure whether I should be happy about it or feel sorry for myself for betting the Oscars. Looks like I am a degenerate any way I slice it.....

i would only look at it in a positive light

you made a correct decision no matter what it was about. plus you got paid. win/win

i'll take whatever i can get
