Nope, I think MILK was very good. Hard to separate my bias, but as soon as I watched it, I felt its script was way beyond standard biopic kaliber and deserved the Oscar (which it won), and that Penn's performance was his best in forever and deserved an Oscar (which he won). The film was very well directed, and packed an emotional wallop (hence me crying many times) ... yeah, perhaps more of one for me, but everyone has a different emotional threshhold anyway.
So, with all those things going for it .... why not Best Picture? It was waaaaay better than Slumbog in every conceivable quality.
OK, it's all subjective. I happen to LOVE Chicago.
But that's because I'm so GAY ... and that's not the reason I love MILK.
