I fear that if they have to dig that deeply into the supporting cast that they might just skip it all together, but I do have Huston on my long list, so it's definitely a possibility.NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-9738698062134378092011-10-12T02:30:17.347-07:002011-10-12T02:30:17.347-07:00I'd love to see Levitt get a nod, I've alw...I'd love to see Levitt get a nod, I've always been impressed by him. I would think it's more than likely to miss out on the major nominations but wouldn't be surprised if Anjelica Huston was nominated. It rewards the film and acknowledges Hollywood royalty in a more conventional way.Louisehttp://www.louisereviews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-36023336783948273072011-10-12T01:27:43.496-07:002011-10-12T01:27:43.496-07:00Ah, good list of favorites.

His performance wasn't anything unusual, and I don't think he has the status in the industry to get recognition on that alone.<br /><br />Not really sure what my favorite movie is. I've only recently become "serious" about films, so there's a lot of things that I haven't seen. (That was one of the reasons my blog looks forward instead of back. I figured I could get a handle on five to seven years of upcoming movies, but not 85 years of history!). But a few that really impressed me are Memento, Tambien La Lluvia, and Fruit Fly (a smaller film that most folks haven't seen). What are your favorites?NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-29595186754038024592011-10-11T07:46:19.519-07:002011-10-11T07:46:19.519-07:00Mixing humor and painful subject matter is, natura...Mixing humor and painful subject matter is, naturally, very difficult. The beauty of this movie is that it does so with ease, especially with such good actors in these roles as well. Good review my man. I hope this at least some Oscar nods, but it doesn't seem like it will actually happen.Dan O.http://www.dtmmr.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-5898438683327183732011-10-11T06:42:55.225-07:002011-10-11T06:42:55.225-07:00Yeah I think JGL's performance is Oscar worthy...Yeah I think JGL's performance is Oscar worthy.

I think that she was really good casting for the character that she played. She's playing a psychologist (or psychiatrist), so she tries to keep a professional distance, but you see her reactions in moments when she doesn't think that anyone is looking.NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-71537373779136914942011-10-11T02:18:13.744-07:002011-10-11T02:18:13.744-07:00how was Anna Kendrick?how was Anna Kendrick?F.FRANKLINnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-62895029575578290822011-10-11T02:07:19.988-07:002011-10-11T02:07:19.988-07:00Thanks Colin.
