My kids and I watch a lot of movies each year. This year, I saw all the nominated movies, except Sideways. I really liked MDB, even though I didn't care for the ending. The characters were just so well cast and believable.

I thought Jamie Foxx may have done the best acting job I have ever seen with Ray. I would have also given he and Morgan both supporting actor awards (for Jamie in Collateral). Ray (the movie) was good, but I thought it wasn't the best screenplay or editing job. It dragged in places, and didn't really go deep enough on some of the key parts of the story. But again Jamie was superb.

I would have voted Aviator or MDB best picture. Aviator was good for the first 2/3rds, and then kind of fell off at the end. Leonardo did a great job, and I would have voted him (or Clint) lead actor, if not for Jamie Foxx this year. It probably is Leonardo's best acting role to date.
