Oscar gave The Departed a big boost at the video store last week. The winner of the Academy Award for best picture of 2006 and best director (Martin Scorsese) took the top spot on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart, bumping the previous week's winner, Paramount/DreamWorks' Flushed Away, to second place. The Departed did not hold sway among video renters, however, as the Will Ferrell comedy Stranger Than Fiction nabbed the first-place spot on Home Media Retail magazine's rental chart with an estimated $6.8 million, edging out The Departed's $6.2 million.
