The Snubbed Departed

I just had time to really contemplate about the Oscar noms. It's lunch hour anyway. So, how come there's no nod for best actor to The Departed? As i've stated earlier in my previous posts, The Departed was one of the best, if not the best, actor ensemble during the year. Literally, every actor in this film deserved a nod or a standing ovation. Especially, the guy whose picture floating above this post (man, does he looked really pissed?), and Jack Nicholson. I mean, how come?

Well, thankfully, Dreamgirls doesn't get nominated. I was afraid when they won Best Picture at the Golden Glove. Afraid that the incident with Chicago, another musical broadway brought to the silver screen, would repeat once again. And uh, i just read that in Best Costume award, the nominees includes Marie Antoinette and The Queen. Interesting. Well, i want The Queen to win. I want it to win by a mile. As i hate Sofia Coppola, and Marie Antoinette (the film) was incomparable to The Queen in quality. But, even though that the film (Marie Antoinette) has received bad mixed reviews, one thing that generally agreed upon of this film that the costumes were outstanding. So, yeah, i labeled the fight between these two queens as 'interesting'. And of course, once again, my vote goes to Queen Elizabeth II.
