This is a great great movie that should have gotten awards nominations, but was passed over by the snooty awards people, I think, because Eastwood uses unknown actors and actresses in his movies. This steps on the toes of the Hollyweird elite, who rightly consider such activities a threat to their economic well-being. Mel Gibson does the same thing in movies he directs.

If studios learn they can produce profitable movies without paying A-list celebs big bucks, then maybe they will.

I made a comment to a co-worker last week that is he had the following plot lines included into the story, it would have been nominated...

1. Clint came out as a homosexual...
2. He admitted that he was wrong about other cultures;
3. He offed himself after an hour soliloquy specifying how his life was carbon-heavy, and that taking his life would cure the end of global warming...

That would have made liberals stand up and cheer!

Maybe they had to make sure "Milk" got a bunch of nominations.
