I don’t know what’s going on with the Best Picture race. More than a couple of people have said since the Oscar noms were announced that Little Miss Sunshine probably can’t make it, not without an accompanying Best Director and/or Best Editing nomination, which it doesn’t have. Will Babel pull through after all? Will Academy voters take a look at that 11th place box-office showing for the re-released The Departed this weekend and say, “Wow…still an earner” and give it the Oscar out of monetary respect? The Queen and Letters From Iwo Jima can’t take it…right? I’m lost.
