Oscars? I hope not!

Rating: 6/10 (15 January 2007)

Good movie, excellent singing, decent acting (for the most part) but Oscar winning? I doubt that, except for the music/score/etc, which are all very worthy of Oscars. If this wins many other Oscars, particularly for any of the major acting awards, I'd be quite surprised and would say it was a pretty poor year for acting! OK, I need 10 lines on here so what else can I say? Eddie was great! Jennifer sang wonderfully and her acting was much better than could have been expected!
I'm sure it was discussed on here already but why did a movie about a certain era and aspect of the music industry (containing several songs in the 1st 1/3 of the film but not REALLY a "musical") suddenly turn into a "musical" about 1/3 of the way into the movie? I thought that was unusual.
