A grande surpresa, quanto a mim, é a presença em ambas as listas, do filme Borat que, sendo uma comédia corrosiva e engraçada quanto baste, não me parece ter as características para merecer um lugar ao lado de outros candidatos como Little Miss Sunshine, The Departed ou mesmo The Devil Wears Prada.
