Oscar Material here......

Rating: 10/10 (16 August 2003)

I think this is truly one of the first movies put out this year that is worthy of being nominated for picture of the year.... YES, I like the movie!! Being that it was a true story, I can imagine that some of it was a bit biased, but hey.... thats Hollywood... SeaBiscuit was no ordinary horse, by any means.... I think that Toby did an excellent job as Red, and Jeff was very convincing in his role, as well. It is definitely a feel-good movie, in that the whole audience were cheering when he won races during the movie.... its not very often you can get that much emotion out of an audience.... and this movie does it WELL.
I think that there is a pretty good chance that this may get nominated for a few Oscars, if it doesn't get buried by movies coming out late in the year, like I've seen so many times with some really good movies. They come out shortly after the Oscars, and then by the time that the Oscars roll around again, the only movies that are nominated are ones that have late in the year release dates. Somehow, I think that this movie will not be forgotten by Oscar.
