Good news…”The Departed” was nominated for an Oscar.  Not like I get anything from that, but that might be the best movie I’ve seen in a theater.  Seriously.
Anyway, I’m not so sure it’ll win Best Picture.  I haven’t seen the other nominees.  In fact, I haven’t heard of them.  That makes me leery for “The Departed.”  Them Oscar voters like to get cute.
All I’ll say is this–if Scorcese is again a loser for Best Director, I’m never watching the Oscars again.  Not like I run to watch ’em now, but that’ll be a traveshamockery.  Period.
You hear me, Academy?
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
(What am I talking about?  Y’all ain’t even listenin’ that close.)
