Where do I begin. Ewan Mcgregor in Trainspotting and Moule rouge!!!!!Adam Beach in flags of our fathers and James McAvoy in atonement and last king of Scotland. Pure robbery. Awesome acting and no awards.

Your post reminds me that I’ve a long way to go before I’m even partly a nerd. But I agree with your picks for all those I’ve actually seen ~ Michael Pena, Emma Thompson and Andy Serkis. I cry every time I see that scene of Emma Thompson’s! I haven’t seen Carlito’s Way but it’s only because I know and trust you that I’ll take your word that it’s Sean Penn in that photo.

You mentioned so much awesomeness. In Bruges is one of my faves from the past 5 years. I can't stop recommending that movie. Amy Adams has a moment in the van, talking into the CB, that's so emotionally naked. I think Ryan Gosling can do ANYTHING; his talent resembles Russell Crowe's. And Patricia Clarkson---where do I start? How about THAT VOICE? She was nominated for Pieces of April, though that's not often enough. On a different note, I like your avatar! It's randomly computer-generated but I think the butterfly with lobster claws ready to spring somehow fits you.

I won't be happy if Avatar wins best picture, which I'm afraid it will.

Love your phrase "my bitterness will melt the keyboards." And the Remy eyes. You are so poetic! Totally agree about Bello and McAvoy. He did so much with his eyes alone in Atonement. Don't remember the details in that Big Fish scene but you make me want to re-watch it!

I think the hair & makeup definitely helped with the physical transformation. But you didn’t think his acting, with the weaselly mannerisms and jacked-up way of speaking, was craaazy?
