Since Hollywood is part of the pro-death lobby, an Oscar was assured. In fact, it's a two-fer for the haters of christianity == they thumb their noses at God by giving an award to a film that boosts murder, and totally snub The Passion, a movie about the most important three days in the history of Creation.
I think there should be a sequel to MDB, in which "Franky" (the Eastwood character) is put on trial for the murder of Maggie Fitzgerald (the Hillary Swank character). Call it, "Million Dollar Defense Attorney."
