Departed all the way. But Kris, don't you think Matt Damon kinda got snubbed this year? He had two, very good performances in departed and especially Good Shepherd. Oh well.

Not particularly. He was good in "The Good Shepherd," but I've always considered him the weak link in "The Departed."

Wasn't Babel higher on your end of the year list than The Departed? I really hope the lack of support for Dreamgirls means Rinko Kikuchi can pull off an upset...
