Well, I failed to see "The Departed" and "Dreamgirls" ahead of the Oscars. But I'm prepping for a long night. The last time this producer was in charge it was 3 hours and 47 minutes. I'll have the recap up later.

Picks:

Movie: "Little Miss Sunshine"
Actor: Forrest Whitaker-"The Last King of Scotland"
Actress: Helen Mirren-"The Queen"
Supporting Actress: Abigail Breslin-"Little Miss Sunshine"
Supporting Actor: Eddie Murphy-"Dreamgirls"
