BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Oscars 2007: The nominees
I said before in my review for Blood Diamond that DiCaprio was better in Blood Diamond than The Departed, and it seems that the Oscars agree. Unlike The Golden Globes, DiCaprio got a Best Actor Nom for Blood Diamond rather than Departed. It any case, it is moot since Forest Whitaker looks certain to take Best Actor with Last King Of Scotland.
This year’s batch of nominees look great. Dreamgirls was the surprise omission in the Best Picture category, but i’m glad that Little Miss Sunshine got the slot instead, since i’m not much of a fan of musicals. Right now i’m rooting for Babel to win big.
The only blasphemy was in the Best Foreign Film department when Volver was not nominated! I’m glad Letters of Iwo Jima wasn’t selected as Best Foreign Film because it greatly bolster’s its chances at Best Picture.
