Scorsese's crime thriller has tied United 93 for the most Best Picture awards in the Oscar pre-season. It's becoming obvious that he'll win Best Director this year (I hope), but I'm having a hard time seeing The Departed with the Oscar for Best Picture, regardless of how much I loved it. I can definitely see the Academy handing its award to United 93 however...
Even though Dreamgirls shows up in (5) separate categories for the Golden Globe awards, I also believe that Eddie Murphy nominated for “Best Performance by an Actor In A Supporting Role in a Motion Picture” will have real competition from Mark Wahlberg and Jack Nicholson in “The Departed” for the Supporting Roll Poll.
