Watched the Aviator over the weekend. Fell asleep and had to watch it again later. I just don't see what the hype is over this movie. Impeccable pedigree and some excellent wardrobing but that's about it.
Also watched Sideways. What a POS. If I want to see a good road trip movie I'm with Table 5 and I'll watch Harold and Kumar. The movie had a few bright spots in it but overall a total, zero redeeming features.
I did watch Million Dollar Baby, and I'm on the boat with the critics of this one. I though it was entertaining and it certainly did hold my attention for the entire length of the movie (ahem). It also has the pedigree that Academy voters like.
IHH's prediction: A sweep for old Clint. MDB for Best Picture, with Eastwood taking Best Director, and Swank for Best Actress.
