It's a great movie that's beautifully done. Just forget about the content & focus on it as a movie & the quality of it + the acting & you'll see what I'm talking about.

Unfortunately, talent and quality don't equal an Oscar. Just ask "Saving Private Ryan" and "Almost Famous." Or, look at movies like "Titanic," where quality was absent.
It is WAY too controversial, and the Academy isn't going to step into that controversy by giving it best picture.
I haven't seen enough movies this year to really judge; there's a lot of buzz around Jamie Foxx, but Paul Giamatti and Don Cheadle also could merit consideration for Best Actor.
