The nominees are:
- “Babel” (Paramount and Paramount Vantage) An Anonymous Content/Zeta Film/Central Films Production; Alejandro González Iñárritu, Jon Kilik and Steve Golin, Producers
- “The Departed” (Warner Bros.) A Warner Bros. Pictures Production; Graham King, Producer
- “Letters from Iwo Jima” (Warner Bros.) A DreamWorks Pictures/Warner Bros. Pictures Production; Clint Eastwood, Steven Spielberg and Robert Lorenz, Producers
- “Little Miss Sunshine” (Fox Searchlight) A Big Beach/Bona Fide Production; David T. Friendly, Peter Saraf and Marc Turtletaub, Producers
- “The Queen” (Miramax, Pathé and Granada) A Granada Production; Andy Harries, Christine Langan and Tracey Seaward, Producers
And the award goes to ... "Letters from Iwo Jima," Clint Eastwood, Steven Spielberg and Robert Lorenz, Producers. I loved both "Little Miss Sunshine" and "The Queen," but neither of them have the scope or ambition to be best pictures of the year, in my opinion. "Letters from Iwo Jima" does ... and it is a remarkable cinematic achievement -- as well as being by far Eastwood's best movie since "Unforgiven."
