The best picture award --
Babel
"Babel," directed by Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, led all nominees into the ceremony. It won only one, which was also the biggest prize.
"It took us more than one
year doing this film, shooting it on three continents and in five
languages, and it seems no matter how many languages you shoot a film ...
the power of cinema is universal," said Inarritu when receiving the trophy
from California governor and former action star Arnold
Schwarzenegger.
The movie described
immigration problems among four families between the United States and
Mexico after the "9.11" terrorism attack.
The best director award -- Martin Scorsese
Legendary Martin Scorsese picked up the best director award for his
criminal film "The Departed," after his victory for "Gangs of New York"
four years ago.
