I finally saw it too. I LOVED it. I thought Natalie was amazing especially when she became the Black Swan---you could actually see her be a different person. I thought her ballet was well-done and i'm sure it took a lot of hard work. That said, I don't really think it's worth winning an Oscar for. It's definitely a cap in her career but it's only worth a nomination and that's all. I just saw Rabbit Hole too and Nicole was far more brilliant. That took levels of acting and i really think she should win the Oscar. I hope all the Black Swan hype won't make others forget actresses like Nicole who did a far better job. I have not seen the other actresses' work. I am just saying between Nic and Nat, Nic deserves it more.

Btw, it really was sickening to see how skinny Nat and Mila became. I'm glad they gained their weight back.
