Best Picture thoughts
For the first time in forever, I have actually seen 3/5 of the year's best picture nominees. Has anyone seen them all? Here's how I'd rank them....
1. The Departed - What a great story, and the acting is top notch.
2. Little Miss Sunshine - Pure genius. A comedy will always have a tough time taking this award though.
3. Babel - Liked it, didn't love it. I'm a huge Brad Pitt fan, I think he's an underrated actor, but I didn't find his character very dynamic...in fact, I thought the most captivating aspect of the film was the performance of Rinko Kikuchi as Chieko. I thought she was fabulous. Supporting actress Oscar fabulous.
Obviously didn't see The Queen or Letters From Iwo Jima so can't comment on them.
Your thoughts?
