Well, PCMR may have gambled on Clint Eastwood winning best director, but is never one to pass up an opportunity to say ‘told you so’ – waay back in September, I predicted Scorcese would pick up the gong for the excellent ‘The Departed’, and the academy have finally invited Marty to the Oscar party, giving him the opportunity to deliver one of the best Oscar acceptance speeches ever to boot.

Your guide to all the major winners are listed below, with urls to PCMR’s reviews included for your consideration. You’ll find many of the other nominees reviewed here too, just use the navigation bar on the right to browse the titles…
