We also used to go to some great Oscar parties.. My favorite was the year I dressed up as Nick Nolte in his arrest photo. :-)

My wife and I have ALWAYS loved movies.... it's been "our thing" for the past 25 years. This year, we have only seen 3 of the 5 nominees (The Departed, Letter, and Lil Miss Sunshine) I liked them all, but... I would give the award to The Departed...

Just my prediction.....

The Departed would have my vote.

I sure hope Marty Scorcese wins...he deserves it for the rat at the end of Departed if nothing else...and if they are giving out sentimental Oscars tonight (Alan Arkin, Pete O'Toole) he should win and likewise his movie.

My husband and I just finished watching The Departed, our first DVD this year. We got it because nothing on TV to watch tonite and we think Leonardo DiCaprio has turned out to be, in our opinion, the best younger actor Hollywood has come up with in a very long time. We liked the picture, gory as it was and with about every other word starting with f. DiCaprio was so great in The Aviator, the Howard Hughes bio, that we will take a chance on anything he is in. I haven't heard him mouth off anything anti American or hate Bush and I don't know what sex he claims to be so I hope we can continue to enjoy his acting even if our pleasure is based on ignorance of either factoid.
