Aviator cleaned house with 5 wins, with Million Dollar Baby right behind it with 4. But you know the best part of the show? No Fahrenheir 9/11.

Also, I havent seen Born Into Brothels, which beat out Super Size Me in one of the Documentary categories, but I can't imagine that it's better than SSM. I'm not saying it's bad, especially since I haven't seen it, but it would have to be pretty damn good to make me think that SSM didn't deserve to win.

The awards were 'teh ghey' to quote Byron. I don't know how the Aviator could win every 'craft' award, like cinematography and the art direction awards, yet have the literal director lose. The director coordinates all these ideas into his vision on film.

Born Into Brothels is apparently a masterpiece in documentary. Roger Ebert claims that every high school student in America should see it.

As a teacher, I can confirm Foz's suspicions.
