With this years Academy Awards there are there allot of story lines that have taken the spotlight in the days upcoming to the ceremony. But, the most intriguing one is if director Martin Scorsese can finally break his Oscar hiatus with his picture, "The Departed."
He has had a great body of work such as Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, GoodFellas, Gangs of New York, and the Aviator, and with his latest captivating film I believe this is the year that he will do it.

I must not have very good taste in film. While I have heard of all these movies, not a single one is my idea of good entertainment.
There is not a single movie in that list that I really want to see. Most of them, with the exception of the departed, sound boring to me. I guess maybe I don't really fit in with the status quo when it comes to movies.
Helen Mirren's likeness to Elizabeth II in The Queen is uncanny.
I have yet to see Dreamgirls- which someone told me it the only movie that everybody clapped for in a LONG time. My boyfriend bought The Departed, and we have yet to find the time to acually watch it. Hmm...I'm Hopeing that Meryl Streep will win! I love The Devil Wears Prada!!!!
I have to give you credit, I don't think I would be able to think of all of those movies, let alone make predictions for the oscars.
I do have to agree with you on alot of your predictions though. I think Leonardo DiCaprio did an outstanding job in "Blood Diamond"; its one of my favortite movies from this past year.
I also agree that Martin Scorsese did an amazing job with "The Departed."
I don't usually follow up with the Oscars but I do find your predictions interesting.
