"The Departed" - Oscar-deserving?

[pdisme]

I didn't see it but did it deserve best director and best picture or was that more of a Scorsese lifetime achievement award? Not that I don't think he deserved it for Goodfellas, that's one of my all time favorites.

I thought it was a fantastic movie and well deserved.

Matt, how'd you see it? :)

All of the guys that work for me have seen it and say that it is absolutely amazing. They are trying to get me to watch it. And they are saying that it is Oscar Worthy.

CD/DVD piracy is one of the largest/most profitable businesses in the Balkan region right now.

Just doing my part to invest in the region/local population :biggerGrin: :biggerGrin:

My DVD collection has probably increased about 50fold since coming here. Just trying to figure it out if they are worth shipping back when I leave.


My organization doesn't really care about it at the moment. They are more focused on PIFWICs, Police Reform, Illegal logging, Human/Drug sumggling.

It was THE BEST movie I have seen in a long time I thought. All the lead actors did an awesome job. Very "Casino/Goodfellas-like" but better if you liked those two.

Wow, I'll have to see if I can get it on torrent, I mean go buy the DVD, tonight. :) Those are two of my favorite movies so I should love this one.

Finally saw the movie for the first time on DVD. Impressive. Undoubtedly, the best I've seen in a looong time. Jack N. is timeless.....He must be in his 70's by now, isn't he?
