'Last Truck' a shoo-in for Oscar




Julia Reichert and Steve Bognar's documentary "The Last Truck" about the closing of the GM plant in Moraine, this morning got a leg up on the Academy Award for Best Documentary. As a compelling story that is both current and symbolic of our country's tough economic times, the movie has a lot going for it as it is. Then, on MSNBC this morning, it got the added push of star power when Mr. Hollywood himself, Tom Hanks, raved about the movie. Just a gut reaction, but I see the Little Art rocking Sunday night as Reichert and Bognar step up to receive their award.
