Cate's Hepburn was certainly the (short) highlight of that film, which was otherwise distinctly uneven. And better than all the others nominated. The description of the year as a whole as full of mediocre also-rans is spot on. Besides, isn't there something ludicrous in the idea that a Hughes is a more towering figure? Certainly there is no other great brilliancy in any of the rest of them.

But one doesn't judge the movie by its intentions, or the "greatness" of the figure being bio'd, but by the film itself.

Overall I have to say movies are in a big ol' slump. There is a noticeable lack of energy and imagination. It seems like people are either making a massive product with no personal feeling in it, bludgeon the audience with their points, or making these whiney little boo-hoo life sucks indie navel-gazer flicks I don't want to see.
