What shocked me more than learning that Dreamgirls was shut out of the
Best Picture category is that I have seen only 1/2 of the best picture
contenders. (I rented Little Miss Sunshine but fell asleep mid-way. It
was a super movie from what I saw, but my new puppy has me exhausted.)
Me, a movie buff, too! Oh well, as long as I don't miss seeing the
Oscar dresses and Oscar jewelry on this year's red carpet I'll be happy.
The nominees for best picture are "The Departed," "Babel," "Letters
From Iwo Jima," "Little Miss Sunshine" and "The Queen."

Scotland"), Leonardo DiCaprio ("Blood Diamond"), Ryan Gosling ("Half
Nelson"), Peter O'Toole ("Venus") and Will Smith ("The Pursuit of
