- And just looking below, I wonder if he would have won if he was nominated for Supporting Actor in Shawshank - wasn't Robbins the lead.

Im not joking, i dont know why everyone thinks Morgan was so good in Shawshank, why does this role stand out, and none of his others?
He acts just as good in everything else, this is no exception.

I agree with you. He is just consistent good, mostly.
And in Shawshank, I also liked Robbins alot as I had never been much of a fan of his before.
Also for notes, Freeman does the voice narration in both Shawshank and MDB.

I don't know. I'm still thinking about it. It didn't affect me THAT much emotionally, but at the same time, still an excellent movie.

I think Shawshank was his best. It's my favorite movie with him.

And Spiderman 2 and Blade 3 did affect you THAT much?

No no no. How in gods name can Spiderman and Blade affect anyone emotionally? By emotionally, I mean things that happened in Million Dollar Baby, which I don't want to spoil right now. Certain scenes, especially the ending, affected a lot of people emotionally (crying, etc), but not me. That's what I mean.

Yeh i understand, but you still have Blade 3 higher than M$B, which is madness.
