I wasn't going to see it, because for some reason I always tend to not want to see most of the movies that get nominated for Best Movie at the Oscars. I guess I don't have much faith in the academy :\ I read this guy's opinion on a blog that went like: "It's enough that an actor plays a retarded character, schizophrenic, blind, deaf, mute, beaten to death, with a terminal ilness, or has to gain 80 pounds to make a movie for the Academy to fall on their knees screaming "Amen!" " lol I laughed at this because it's sort of my opinion, movies that are winning the Best Movie awards are always movies about some sort of disgrace, or people overwhelming problems, etc. Of the nominees this year, I had only seen "Finding Neverland", which was pretty good, IMO. But some friends talked me into going to Million Dollar Baby. I thought I'd be wasting my money... but then the movie really came through. I went in thinking I'd hate it, but I think it's impossible to hate it. Morgan Freeman and Hillary Swank are superb (I didn't like Clint Eastwood's acting :\), the story really takes you in, I don't know how to explain it, it's such a strong movie. When you finish watching it, you sortta feel insignificant... It's a very good movie, and it deserved its awards.

I just think it's time for the Academy to make a little variation on the movies that end up getting the Oscar... It's getting easier and easier to guess who's going to win :p
