¿Hay que explicar? Bueno, El aviador se va a llevar un montón de premios y quizás no porque se los merezca, sino porque existe en el aire esa sensación de que a Scorsese le deben hace mucho un reconocimiento. Así que como pasa seguido, es muy probable que arrase en cuanta terna aparezca... salvo en las actuaciones. Y para mi es ahi en donde la balanza se va a inclinar por Million Dollar baby.

Veremos mañana que tal me fue con esto...
