Why an Oscar?

Rating: 1/10 (19 September 2007)

Its been a while since the movie was released. But I got to see it only last weekend. Cannot believe that Forest Whitaker got an Oscar for his role as Idi Amin.
The movie is very badly made and it is so discontinuous. The the end was so abrupt. I had to actually see the end credits to believe the movie was really over.
Idi Amin's life is definitely worthy of making a movie. It did not lack in drama. But none of this actually came out. For a good part of the movie Whitaker was actually missing in the movie. Terrible, terrible structure. Something ought to be done with Whitaker's eyes. With that kind of a defect why was he cast for the lead role.
