What Press Will Say:

Martin Scorsese got to be recognized with the Oscar this time. An incredible cast starring Robert DeNiro, Leonardo DiCaprio and an amazing Edie Falco plus the incredible writing of Kenneth Lonergan that gives the movie a funny touch make this the best mob movie since "The Godfather". With incredible Italian locations and an amazing cinematography by academy award winner Conrad P. Hall make this year's definitive Oscar winner so far. the most probable to become Oscar-winners are Edie Falco in the role of a desperate wife and Al Pacino with not so much screen-time but a hearth touching performance as the mob leader with aids. We wouldn't get shocked if we see something like this on the nomination morning.
