It’s officially Oscar season, and Rolling Stone movie critic Peter Travers is here to tell you which hopefuls for Academy Award glory and some of that Blind Side money will be slugging it out this weekend *At the Movies*. First up, there’s Invictus, the new film by a director who is no stranger to Oscars, Clint Eastwood. The film stars Morgan Freeman as the then-newly elected South African president Nelson Mandela, who hopes to bridge the gap of apartheid by rallying behind the country’s rugby team and
its captain, played by Matt Damon. This is the role Freeman was born to play, Travers writes in his three-and-a-half star review of Invictus, and he has to be considered among the favorites for the Best Actor Oscar.
