The Departed was on of the most predictable movies I've ever seen, it was a good movie and all but that is about as far as I would go.
Yes the cast is amazing and perhaps that worked against it because I really expected a lot more than I got.
Totally worth watching though, it is a good movie, I just don't think it's great, certainly was a "lifetime achievement" type Oscar winner to me for Scorsese.

No, it pretty much deserved it that year. Outside of maybe Lives of Others, Pans Labyrinth, and Children of Men, no movie was all that close.

I apparently had The Fountain at the wrong year. Welp, I won't disagree but Scorcese deserved it enough.

Troll hunter was a fun watch, but even in a down year of movies Idk if it was good enough for best picture. It dragged a bit imo and had a really weak ending.

It's okay, but really:
1) Midnight in Paris
2) The Troll Hunter

The Fountain was one of the most boring movies I've ever seen in my life.
