| This was a great year for the Oscars with so many good films and performances in the running. I loved both The Aviator and Million Dollar Baby and would have been equally happy with either film winning. The only awards I would have liked to see go to others were Leonardo instead of Foxx for Best actor and Natalie Portman instead of Blanchette for supporting actress. I get tired of impersonation-type performances winning out over actual acting talent perfomances. Acting and impersonating are two very different skills IMHO. |
