Now that the election is over it's time to start considering the next big question facing America -- which picture will take home the Oscar for Best Movie.
Thursday night I went to see "Changeling," which I think is going to be a contender. Directed by Clint Eastwood, Angelina Jolie stars as a woman whose 9-year old son goes missing. The LAPD "returns" her son, but it turns out it's the wrong boy. Set in the late 1920s and early 1930s, this movie looks at the corruption in the police force and the importance of "saving face" above all else.
This movie may be nominated for Best Picture and Jolie will probably get a nomination for Best Actress. But I'm absolutely certain it is going to win for Art Direction. It's amazing how they recreated the Los Angeles of more than 70 years ago -- Red Cars and all.
