"It certainly will help do that. I haven't seen the film, so I'm talking based on what people have told me. It's very inspirational."

Morgan Freeman telling us at the Invictus premiere last week how this film will restore our faith in humankind, particularly in light of the increasingly lurid Tigergate.

With all of the recent rumored cheating scandals, from Tiger Woods to Josh Duhamel, it's hard to remember that there are some great things that can come out of Hollywood...like movies.

Morgan agreed that this flick is coming at a perfect time to shift focus from the personal lives of, say, scandalous athletes and to celebrate an actual sport and inspiring story. We're screening the movie tonight, it's supposed to be fab.

Since the film's director, Clint Eastwood, got snubbed last year at the Oscars, this very well could be his baby for the upcoming awards season—and some possible competition for George Clooney and Up in the Air, which is supposed to sweep everything (at least that's what we're hearing now).
