Babel second, seriously? Did you get a chance to see all the films this year? While Babel was good, don't get me wrong, it was far too long and pedantic. I think it should have been replaced with Children of Men (which also should have won). And while you're right about the Departed not being Marty's best, I think the award for both Director and movie are deserved not just for this film, but for his entire body of work.
I didn't see Letters from Iwo Jima, but we all know that the Acadamy love them some super depressing drama, so that's why I had Babel as number two. While I agree with you that Marty should have had at least the best director, I wish the Oscars didn't bring up politics and let best picture actually be the best picture.
