The Departed Should definatley win for best picture, and Martin Scorsese for Best director(He hasn't won one award yet!)I'm not sure Letters from Iwo Jima if good enough for best picture, but if the Departed doesn't win than it better be either Little Miss Sunshine or Babel.

Anybody else have comments?

Edit:I forgot one or two, but that is because I couldn't find the nominess for them.
