What is the point of this? You have zero credibility because you have taken yourself out of the picture's rhythm.No the performance isn't as good as Theron's, but then again it was a different movie about a different person.
Follow Ups:
Morgan Freeman got away with "grand theft picture", of course. He almost always does. Great perforamnce by Freeman. One note performacne by Eastwood, he is a lousy director. Yeah, I know, awards, I know. BS, he is worse at directing than acting. Look at the lousy performances he allowed in the picture. The uncoordinated kid boxer is a joke, should have been cut from the picture. The mother of Swank is over the top, and the brother is doing a Clint imitation talking through gritted teeth. Most Eastwood movies have LOUSY acting jobs in them. This is no exception, and sometimes the staging is amateurish, such as the hospital scenes between the family and Eastwood. Swank was very good in the hospital scenes.
Also Swanks physical transformation was very impressive; but is it acting?
Good movie; definitely not worthy of any Acadmy Award. Cetainly Farenheit 911 was a far better picture, and far more important. Which will be remembered three years from now by people who saw both?
See my post below re/Oscar. Why would you expect anything more discerning from AMPAS?Not the great film some critics claim, but Oscar has given BP to far worse.

Sorry, there's no comparison. As much as I enjoyed seeing Bush get skewered in F9/11, it was a shameless attempt at propaganda - exaggerating and misrepresenting the facts to support your point of view. Had Bush lost the election, you may have had an arguement. Unless you view it as a fictional story like the other best film nominees.
IMO, Million $ Baby was the best film I saw last year, perhaps not the strongest year in films in recent memory, though. And with Terry Schiavo so prominent in recent politics and the news, it's certainly more relevant and memorable than F9/11 is now.
