I think it will win. Even though I don't think it's the strongest film.

If Babel wins, I'm done with the Oscars, not because I think it's a bad flick (I havn't even seen it) but I find it hard to believe this movie had no buzz, not very solid reviews, and poor box office returns and then out of fuckin' nowhere it gets all these noms. What the hell.

I took at the user reviewed Babel thread and the grades are all over the place. It was 10 B or higher and 12 C or lower. That's pretty divided and it's not like the ppl who graded it are slouches either. I'd be troubled if it won BP as well but I don't think it's going to happen especially when even critics are divided with it. I think the films with the most momentum going into the Oscars have the best chance at it and that should be LMS, Departed and the Queen. It will be a very interesting night that's for sure. The only award I hope goes as planned would be Scorcese for Director. If his name is read all will be right regardless of BP.
