The Departed To Win Best Picture Oscar

According to an expert's predictions anyway

February 23 2007

Share

The Departed is going to win Best Picture at the 2007 Academy Awards (or Oscars to friends) according to research done by Tiscali anyway.

As we�re all eager to find out who will win what at this year�s Oscars ceremony, Tiscali have teamed up with psychology lecturer and consumer behaviour and entertainment expert David Moxon to research the formula for Oscar success and predictions for this year�s event.

Here comes the science: Apparently the formula revolves around how successful the film was (in the past five years, every winning movie has grossed within the top three films of the five nominated).

Applying Moxon's research to this year's contenders indicates the race for Oscar glory will be one of the closest in years.

More importantly, that means Martin Scorsese may finally take home that coveted gold statuette.

Poll  Who Should Win?

The Departed

Babel

The Queen

Letters from Iwo Jima

Little Miss Sunshine

  • The Departed is a brilliant film, check it out if you haven’t seen it.

  • I’d like to see Leo get a ”Best Actor” for The Departed. I think he has finally distanced himself from ”The Titanic” now. The film is great as a whole, but I doubt it will get best picture, although I would be glad if it does. Overall it’s a great work of art. Scorsese has outdone himself.

  • ”The Departed” is decent, but hardly brilliant. It was over the top. The mass killing at the end ruined it for me. DiCaprio’s character should have survived. The ending was a Tarantino downer bloodbath. As for Leo distancing himself from ’Titantic”, he was brilliant before that and great in ”Catch me if you can” ”Gangs” and ”The Aviator”. The film that should win for sheer cinematic brilliance is ”Babel.” This is no high school dance, its about the best work of art. ”Departed” isn’t it.

  • I disagree RENEGABE. The fact that Leo’s character is killed in the end is what makes it honest. You are right in that Leo has done many great works, but he has said himself that he wanted to distance himself from ”The Titanic” ”The Aviator” was after that, and I thought he was passed over for a true work of art. His portrayal of HH was outstanding. Scorsese is not imitating QT – the film doesn’t have the confusion of time and character movtive of a QT film. Good review though.

  • Renegabe, that’s exactly why it’s a brilliant film, the ending is unexpected. Hollywoods insistence on the ”good guy” surviving has been done to death. There’s a double twist at the end of this film that makes it a satisfying ending. If only COP#2 got the shit shot out of him in the Radioland Murders I’d be a happy man ;)
