Richard Roeper & guest critic George Pennachio state their preferences & predictions for the 2006 Oscars.
Roger Ebert made a written list of predictions & preferences (which matched up perfectly): Picture – Babel, Actor – Forest Whitaker, Actress – Helen Mirren, Supporting Actor – Eddie Murphy, Supporting Actress – Jennifer Hudson
NOTE: Although Ebert preferred Babel at this time, on his Top 10 list released a few months later he placed The Departed at #4 with Babel at #9.
