My Oscar Predictions for 2007




Here are my Oscar predictions for 2007:

Best Picture: Babel
(I am changing my vote to The Departed here. I must admit, I was influenced by all the buzz about Babel, but after seeing it last night, I have to say it is good, but not worthy of winning Best Picture. It's essentially an art film and it is very good, but The Departed is better. Knowing the Academy, Babel will win, but I still believe even Little Miss Sunshine is a better movie.)
Best Actor: Forest Whitaker, The Last King of Scotland
Best Actress: Helen Mirren, The Queen
Best Supporting Actor: Eddie Murphy, Dreamgirls
Best Supporting Actress, Jennifer Hudson, Dreamgirls
Best Director: Martin Scorsese, The Departed
Best Original Screenplay: Michael Apted, Little Miss Sunshine
Best Adapted Screenplay: William Monahan, The Departed
