 on May 15 2008 11:54 AM who had to blow who to get 'kung fu panda' in there? it just demeans this already pompous and over-blown affair. i'm stoked for 'changeling' though. it's been totally off the radar, but eastwood is at the top of his game and the true-story plot is insane. angie's gonna have to stop adopting kids for a little while to accept her accolades.
