I agree with you. None of the movies out there have been very impressive to me. I saw Benjamin Button, and I was not impressed. Brad Pitt does not deserve best actor. But since all the movies out there were not very great. He might just have a chance. Heaven forbid they nominate "Che" which I thought was brilliant. It's probably too controversial. They'll stick to the "Nazi" movies. That's always the most controversial subject. Who cares that it happened over 50 years ago. I guess no one in Hollywood cares about what's going on today. Like Iraq.

Where's the cheat sheet?
I don't know which movies he's referring to, in most of them.
