One of the best I have seen in a while.

4. *may be a vague spoiler*
did the elevator ride, at the end, stun you when you saw it?

I didn't see that coming.

5. Oh, absolutely. *spoiler*
From the point that Martin Sheen's character got pushed on was just a wild ride.

I shouted "nooooooooo" twice in about a three second timespan. Then, Marky Mark saved the day at the end.

That film was totally engrossing.

3. WooHoo! I've been jumping up and down cheering.
I was hoping Scorcese and the movie would both win. Hard to believe it actually happened!

7. I would act surprised if I was
I think most knew all along this movie would win, along with the director.

10. Good movie
but c'mon, it was the same thing as the Chinese film "Infernal Affairs", just culturally translated. I saw "Infernal affairs" just a few days ago and was surprised how the films were almost identical. Though I do think Scorcese fleshed out the characters better and gave them more development. But then again, he also made his movie an hour longer than the original. I understand why Scorcesse wanted to redo it, because the plot is very compelling.

But I think the best picture should go to something original. And that it wasn't.

I am glad though he finally got recognized and won though. It was about time.

11. I wanted "Little Miss Sunshine" to win Best Picture
But it didn't, so such is life.
