Then again, the Red States will embrace it

And the Best Picture is … “Million Dollar Baby”? OK. I give up. Hollywood has proven itself clueless once again.

Look, it’s not as if “The Aviator” is the best film ever made. It’s not even the best film Scorsese ever made. But it is good enough to win that little gold statuette, especially over a film that uses the biggest plot gimmick since the box of chocolates in “Forrest Gump.”
