I just saw Million Dollar Baby this weekend. I don't want to give out any spoilers, so I'll just say that its been a long time since I've felt that emotional after a movie. When the credits came up, I remained in my seat for awhile, a bit stunned by the experience.

I've only seen ESOSP and MDB, so for right now all I can say is Swank is ahead of Winslet in this category as far as I'm concerned. Fair or not, the role has just as much to do with getting an Oscar as the actual performance does - and Swank just had the more complex, more interesting part (but I liked Winslet too).

I haven't seen any of the other actresses up for it yet, but I'm sure Bening will be a strong candidate.
