My Academy Awards picks


Every year I give my opinion on who should go home with Oscar gold. Here are my picks for the important categories.

If I had my way, "The Departed" will win the award for best picture of the year. This is Martin Scorsece's best movie since "Goodfellas". The best movie of this year in my opinion, didn't get nominated. Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto" was fantastic. It's extremely violent, which is always good, and there's action throughout the movie. Dreamgirls would be my pick if it were nominated, and Apocalypto wasn't. Neither was nominated for best picture, so I went to my third favorite movie, which was The Departed.
The best director would go to Martin Scorsece because he deserves it. He is considered by many as the best director in the world, but has never won a Oscar for best director. He should win. Forrest Whitaker better win the Oscar for best actor because his performance in 'The Last King of Scotland" was amazing.Helen Mirren is the front runner to win best actress, but I'm not so sure. Judi Dench's performance in "Notes on a Scandal" was so fun to watch, and I think she should win.
