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.)
