The five nominated films are all quite good. Million Dollar Baby is great. and Jamie Fox as Ray Charles in Ray is astounding.

I guess it all depends upon what you think is great. That is my only point. I happen to not see many Hollywood films, having an inside knowledge of the dirty business of it all and having seen what damage the hollywood political activists have done in our country, turns my head from them.

My heroes are our military members- so I don't get all excited to see what awards the hollywood entertainers award themselves.

The movies may well be the greatest movies ever made, however the fact that I have never heard of one of them tells me they are not great art, or pivotal works which will help shape our society.

If I saw them I might agree they were cute, fun and enterataining- but I can tell you I wouldn't think they were great works of original art made and developed by heroes. The fact that The Passion of the Christ was not nominated tells me something.

Apparently the ticket buyers felt differently than the Hollywood set- but then again most fluffy folks in hollywood think most Americans are the little, ignorant people.

Because the Ray DVD is being released in less than a week (February 1), there's a good chance it will get Foxx the Best Actor award.

Less than a decade ago if someone said that two former stars of In Living Color were making some of the most interesting movies and giving some of the most compelling performances of late, they would have been laughed out of town.
