I don't watch but I do know that a lot of people who watch it. The show itself boring but I like hearing/reading about the movies and actors that won. This way I can make an informed decision about what movies to rent (Netflix). Of course, movies that win aren't necessarily good movies.

I was disappointed with the Last King of Scotland. To be honest, I thought the doctor was the main character of the movie and not Idi Amin. Forest Whitaker did a great job but they didn't show case him enough IMO.

I'll have to checkout The Departed. Also, Babel was a good movie but it definitely was a clone of Crash.
