The race for the best picture Oscar remains open. Will it be the sprawling global drama "Babel," which placed second with seven nominations, or the mob epic "The Departed?" Could the palace tale "The Queen" be crowned best picture, or even "Little Miss Sunshine," a road-trip that became last year's independent-cinema darling? "Nobody knows anything about these award ceremonies," said Leonardo DiCaprio, a best-actor nominee for the African adventure "Blood Diamond." "And that's the fun everybody has watching the Academy Awards. That's what's exciting." DiCaprrio was responding to his own prospects of winning, but his sentiments are especially true this year for the bigges trophy. This finally may be the year for "The Departed" filmmaker Martin Scorsese, tied with four other directors for the Oscar-futility record of five nominations and five losses. "The Departed" marks Scorsese's return to the cops-and-mobsters genre he mastered in decades past and is considered his best shot to finally win an Oscar, though a sixth defeat would put him alone in the record book. On a nominations day filled with surprises, the most unexpected was the downfall of "Dreamgirls," considered a front-runner but which missed out on the fifth best-picture slot to the World War II saga "Letters from Iwo Jima." It was the first time ever that the film with the most nominations failed to earn a best-picture slot. "Dreamgirls" did grab nominations for Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Hudson, the favorites to win the supporting-acting prizes. Lead-performer front-runners Helen Mirren of "The Queen" and Forest Whitaker of "The Last King of Scotland" also were nominated, potentially leaving little drama in the outcome of the four acting categories. Stay tuned folks, in a few weeks we'll see who walks away a winner! Source: News.yahoo.com (excerpts) A SNEAK PEEK AT THE 2007 BOX OFFICEThis year's slate of releases could prove to be the most potent line up of blockbusters since 2002, which set the box office record with over 1.6 billion in attendance. Box office revenue could top $10 billion for the first time ever. The box office will heat up this year, with earnings expected to rise above the 2006 record of $3.73 billion. Charlotte Jones, a Cinema Analyst from Screen Digest says, "We currently think that the full year will see about a 7% increase over 2006." Contributing to such a statement can include: Films such as Spider-man 3, Shrek the Third and Pirates of the Carribean 3, all sure to be major blockbuster hits. Spider-man 1 was the #8 highest grossing movie of all time and Spidey 2 was #11. Based on the legendary Marvel Comic series, Peter Parker has finally managed to strike a balance between his devotion to M.J. and his duties as a superhero in Spider-man 3. Shrek 2 was the #3 highest grossing movie of all time. In Shrek 3, Shrek and Fiona reluctantly assume her parents' throne as the new king and queen. They need to find the heir to the throne, so that they can return to their swamp. The first "Pirates" was #7 of all time, and "Dead Man's Chest," last years release was #6 of all time. This summer, Will Tuner and Elizabeth Swann join forces with their old nemesis, Captain Barbossa, to rescue Captain Jack Sparrow and Bootstrap Bill Turner and defeat the alliance between Davy Jones, Butler Beckett, and new enemy, Sao Feng.
