Roger Ebert's Prediction of Best Film
Oscar voters often prefer serious, big-themed subjects of the kind seen in "Babel," a powerful group of international stories in which the secret human connections only gradually unfold. But the big upset could be "Little Miss Sunshine" because it touched something deep in the American psyche, and had people identifying with this odd family who pulls together when it matters the most.

The Queen Won Best Film at the BAFTAs
The Queen won the best film whilst The Last King of Scotland won the best British film. Best foreign language film went to Pan's Labyrinth, my favourite movie of the year. Little Miss Sunshine won the Screen Actors Guild a few days ago whilst The Departed won the Director's Guild Award. A bit confusing on which movie is going to win best film in the Oscar and I got the feeling that it would be Letters from Iwo Jima...or Babel (both won the Golden Globes), but definitely not The Departed or Little Miss Sunshine.

The Eye on Malaysia is the tallest portable observation wheel in the south-east Asia. The 60 metre structure is located at Titiwangsa Lake Gardens, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The ferris wheel comprising of 42 gondolas (including 1 VIP one) is similar to the London Eye and has been unveiled in conjunction of Visit Malaysia Year 2007 on January 6, 2007 by Malaysian Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. This giant ferris wheel allows visitors to experience a 360-degree panoramic view of Kuala Lumpur during a 12-minute ride that goes 60 metres high. It offers a magnificent view of Kuala Lumpur and over 20 kilometres of its surroundings including KL Tower, Istana Budaya and Petronas Twin Towers.
