The Departed is excellent, it's Scorsese, a solid star cast and a commercial hit.
I would like to see it win not because it's an absolutely brilliant movie but because the Academy should damn well show Scorsese some respect. I know he is tipped to finally win best director but to give him that without best picture would make it seem too much like a sympathy/consolation prize.
The queen is fine but not best picture material IMO.
Babel is good but uneven. It is this years Crash.
Letters from Iwo jima is excellent but will anyone have even seen it to vote for it.
Little Miss Sunshine - I've heard good things about it, haven't seen it yet. To be honest it doesn't really appeal to me from the clips I've seen but I know many people love it.
