In a year when there were many good films, but few that really were incredible, Martin Scorsese was the big winner at the Oscars ... and for the first time in his career. He finally won Best Director for his gang film about deception, loyalty, and even rats. The Departed is one hell of a ride. A great script, incredible performances by an A-list cast, and memorable scenes make this a truly special film. However, looking back almost two decades, did the Academy get it right? Was it deserving of the Best Picture prize?
Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about The Departed, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 2006.
