Kate Winslet mentioned in the brilliant "Extras" that she is doing a Nazi-Movie, so she finally gets an Oscar (her whole speach about who gets Oscars was great and so was her speech about polishing her husbands Oscar). Talking about life imitating art.;-)
Also Mickey Rourke was way better than Sean Penn, last year. The pro-gay bias of Hollywood was responsible for this award. Same goes for Brokeback mountain.
Now PC demanded that it was time for a woman.
I'm not saying that in any of these cases politics were the only reason for the awards, but I'm sure they tipped the scale.
They were all pretty good efforts but politics played a role in who got the award.
