And the Oscar goes to...

Martin Scorsese is FINALLY going to get his due. It's unbelieveable that after all of his movies, including my favorites, "Goodfellas" and "Casino" he has yet to earn an Oscar for Best Director. No, he didn't win for "Raging Bull", or "Taxi Driver" or "The Color of Money" or "Gangs of New York" either. How does that happen? After seeing "The Departed" there is NO possible excuse for Hollywood to ignore one of their greatest directors of all time. From the storyline, the lighting, the casting, and the perfect placement of music to set the scene, there is nobody that does it better. You have a shelf of your own in my DVD collection, Marty. Thank you!!

Erin, big fan, Scorsese's best Mona Lisa was Raging Bull. The Departed leaves the viewer with a big empty vacancy where hope and humanity had a permanent spot.
Don't get me wrong...The Departed might get picture of the year, but Scorsese can say so long to that award. I mean, let's not forget that X-Men came out this year too.
hehe, and directing a bear to swim in a pool with Borat needs some credit.
