Marty Wins!

In our vain attempt to see all the nominated films. my wife, son and I watched Martin Scorsese's The Departed this afternoon, pushing back the start of the TiVoed Academy Awards show by an hour. Well worth the trouble I would say, as I was just amazed by the audacity of the film. And then the capper of the night, Marty finally wins for Best Director and the film wins for Best Picture.

I don't normally yell when someone wins the Academy Award, but I did tonight. I screamed "Yes!!" and thrust my fists up in the air in triumph when Marty's name was read. What a night!

Congratulations Marty!
