So far Million Dollar Baby has won both Best Supporting Actor: Morgan Freeman
and Best Actress Hillary Swank.

Million Dollar Baby is an excellent movie. I saw it last night.

I really hope that Jamie Foxx wins best actor.

Also, I hope that Martin Scorsese wins Best Director or if not him, then Clint Eastwood.

Eastwood would also be who else I'd like to see win Best Actor if Foxx doesn't win.

Foxx won it!

It's much deserved. His performance as Ray Charles is unparalleled.

She was at the Oscars the last time he won best director in 1993 for Unforgiven.

Million Dollar Baby just won best picture too.

Well deserved, but Ray and The Aviator both deserved it just as much.

i was hoping either clive or natalie would win for closer.

i also found it odd that finding neverland was nominated a lot, i mean, it was a good movie, but it didn't scream oscar to me.

oh yeah, and hilary swank's dress makes me want to kill myself.

I'm so glad no one from Closer won.

I like Natalie Portman and all, actually I would have liked to see her win over the other women for Best Supporting Actress, but she's not a phenomenal actress, at least she hasn't had a role that's been truly jawdropping as far as acting skill takes her.

Oh my...I was not a fan of Closer.

its no surprise that foxx won though. he won the globe and every critic has listed him as the probable winner.

she's normally pretty though. she's pretty there too, it's just hard to notice because you can't see past the dress.
