What movie is "Dances with Wolves" for Scorsese this year?
Chances "The Departed" doesn't win picture AND Scorsese doesn't win director?

1. He'll win this year
I'm guessing "Babel" will win Best Picture.

But this is Scorcese's year. I think the voters will finally give him a much overdue Oscar.

3. I think he may just win both this year...
The Departed is sublime film making.

4. Was just about to say the same thing.
Hollywood loves to give Best Picture to films that have multiple characters/story lines.

Scorcese's got massive amounts of momentum this year, which is why I think he'll finally get his Oscar.

5. I will be very shocked if he doesn't.
Which reminds me...we usually have an Oscar pool around here. The Academy Awards ARE next weekend. :-)

8. You should start one.
I'm about to sit down for dinner, or I'd start it. I'll check in later to see if you need help.

The Departed is his best film since Goodfellas

7. I'd say Flags of our Fathers, or Letters of Iwo Jima...
I just saw FOUF the other day, and I thought it was great....haven't seen the Departed, but all my buds tell me its great....:D
