I've been wondering if Micheal Clayton is the movie they say it is. I realize the media has been glorifying it, but that's why I've strayed from seeing it. I want a "real" person's point of view. What's everyone's oppinions so far?

Havent seen golden compass, so its visuals could be amazing, but i was slightly dissapointed transformers didnt win that.

Maybe its not the Academy awards but did they remove each genre best movie, like best comedy, best drama?
