not quite there

i'm still trying to see as many movies as possible before oscar night. i must say i've enjoyed so many movies between jan 2006 and now, but still have to see a few big award contenders (ahem, the departed, blood diamond, and the queen). here are my top 10 of 2006 - early 2007, in no particular order:

pan's labyrinth
volver
dreamgirls
little miss sunshine
devil wears prada
the pursuit of happyness
borat
marie antoinette
shortbus
apocalypto

i think babel will win best picture at the oscars, and aside from a few parts, i thought the movie overall was "blah."
