Middleage depression

Watched Sideways this weekend -- rated it a 5. I have to agree with Justin as I am not sure why this movie was up for Best Picture. I mean, yes, the acting was fantastic -- amazing really. Giamatti should have been up for best actor. However, the story was not really surprising or innovative in any way. Since it's advertised as a mid-life crisis story, I expected more of a revelation or pay-off at the end, and although there was some, it was not very satisfying. Overall, it's just a depressing story.
