A few minutes later they had biopic of key historical figure, inspirational rags to riches story and Hilary Swank. It's trying to win over are attention too much and as mentioned becomes very superficial. The real Oscar winners are films like The Depearted or Slumdog Millioanaire which were never meant to win Oscars, just be good films. That's my 50 pence at least.
