well - i have seen brokeback mountain and found it incredible. it was deep and tender and well-acted. it brought a tear to my eye near the end. was it perfect - not by any means. but it is an impressive piece of work and, as far as i'm concerned, is as deserving of oscar attention as many of the other films this year.

that said, i'd still vote syriana as best picture. i could see ledge as best actor and gyllenhal as best supporting. (i was also fairly impressed by anne hathaway and michelle williams (who was in H20).

as for best director - i'd probably prefer to see Clooney get it for Goodnight and Good Luck - but if Lee won for brokeback, i would consider it well deserved.
