2007 Academy Awards

I loved 2 movies above all this year-and you named the one-The Departed. That movie had a cast of great actors in it and I hope that someone leaves with a win-Leo gets my vote there. The other smaller film that I really liked was Little Miss Sunshine-it was different and entertaining. I want to see Akeelah and the Bee, since I have heard good things about it

I think that the best picture reward will go either to "Departed" by Martin Scorsese or to "Apocalypto" by Mel Gibson. Those two are most interesting movies of 2006 in my opinion and both deserve rewards from the Academy.

Hmmm. I'd have to say Pirates 2 is up there. I heard Dreamgirls is up there, although I haven't seen the movie. And I HOPE that Pursuit of Happyness makes it. That'd be wonderful. I haven't seen Little Miss Sunshine, but I want to REALLY bad! I hope Happy Feet gets something too for animation. I thought that movie was so cute.

I would love to answer, however I don't even know what movies were popular because I have this automatic forgetful response in my brain. I just love to get out the popcorn and watch the Academy Awards every year to see what's going on in the movies, so I'll know what movies to borrow from the library from the previous year because going to the movies and buying and renting movies is ridiculously expensive. So, I'm looking forward to watching. Thanks for reminding me.

I too liked Little Miss Sunshine & The Departed. I wasn't too crazy about Blood Diamond. But Stranger Than Fiction was a sweet little movie. It's a shame it didn't make more money than it did. I guess maybe people aren't used to seein Will Ferrell like that yet?

I did not see that many movies this year that would be contenders. I loved Little Miss Sunshine and definitely think that deserves some kind of award. Pirates 2 was awesome but probably won't win much. I heard Pursuit of Happyness is going to be up for some, and although I enjoyed it I wouldn't say it's the best of the year. I still have to see The Departed and Blood Diamond! I feel so out of the movie loop this year :)

when will the final 5 movie be selected?

The Queen. It was one of those movies that I think just had Oscar nominations written all over it. First of all it's a drama, which the Academy loves, and secondly it's based upon true events which the Academy also loves. But as far as what I have read from critics they are quite unsure this year. They seem to think Dreamgirls will get several nominations and might be the dark horse to take the best picture award. Who knows?

2006, sadly, will be remembered by me as the year I didn't see any new movies at the theaters. Maybe I'm getting too wary of going out, or maybe I'm spending way too much time at my computer, but this is the first time that I've seen a recently released film only in a watch-at-home format; normally I watch a movie on the "silver screen" at a cinema and THEN buy it on DVD. This year, though, I skipped all movies...even the one 2006 film I bought on DVD. That having been said, I'd have to say that my favorite film of the year is SUPERMAN RETURNS. I was afraid that it would be a somewhat less-than-super rip-off that ignored Richard Donner's 1978 classic SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE, but no...it turned out to be a really good movie.

Well, I think that "The Departed" and "Blood Diamond" and "Little Miss Sunshine" are the three lead-runners for the awards. Pirates 2 was delightfully entertaining but I doubt it will get any awards (maybe Johnny Depp would get a nomination), but more or less it is like the "Matrix" series, which was wonderful, but hard got any (of the main) awards!! Happy feet, Ice Age 2 and Open Season will complete for the Animation awards.

Children of men ahs to be a winner of something. it was brilliant, and intelligent. and made me think. possibly the best movie ever made. i also think pirates 2 will do well, just cuz it hit the fad. xmen 3 could too. either way lets hope something with a good storyline and unholywood press attached to it cscoops up the best

I think it might be a tight Oscar race this year. Leo was good in Blood Diamond. Have you seen the poster for this year's Academy Awards? It features great quotes from great movies. You can see it at the Oscars website. You can even buy it there. I'm more of an indie film person myself.

i thinks Pirates 2 is pretty good for the oscar
