And the winners for 2006 are . . .

Best Picture: United 93

Best Actor: Forest Whitaker, The Last King of Scotland

Best Actress: Helen Mirren, The Queen

Wouldn't it be nice if Martin Scorsese actually wins the Best Director Oscar this year for one of his best movies -- not the made-for-Hollywood Aviator stuff?

And wow, United 93 as best film -- haven't seen it, but I wouldn't have guessed it was that good.
