'Changeling' is a Perfect Example of 'Oscar Bait'new
Changeling is not an excellent film and, if it wins Best Picture, it would be a travesty, the likes of which haven't been seen since the 2007 victory of The Departed or the 2006 win for Crash. Alas, as of yet, the field this year is weak, with Space Chimps and Beverly Hills Chihuahua both in discussion as possible dark horse contenders.
