Heres the winners from the critics choice awards for these categories:

•Picture: ''The Departed''

•Actor: Forest Whitaker, ''The Last King of Scotland''

•Actress: Helen Mirren, ''The Queen''

•Director: Martin Scorsese, ''The Departed''

•Comedy: ''Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan''


I see a lot of value in taking Borat for best comedy...

While I agree that this will be Marty's year for Oscar, and that The Departed is by far the best picture, there are some decent plays for money here.

Remember, this is the Hollywood Foreign Press, who sometimes have a different perspective than the Academy voters. Look for things that were big globally, and not necessarily in the U.S.

Not saying these are locks, but you are looking for a couple of good risks for the price...

best risk: Babel for Picture, Drama.

best long shot: DiCaprio for Blood Diamond - this is big globally.

also good long shots: Eastwood for Iwo Jima, Inarittu for Babel
