His Fredo Corleone is haunting, his lazy body language, sunken eyes and his plea ringing out. You can't think of that performance without thinking of him yelping out "I'm Smart" in his browbeaten almost dog like intonation. Duvall is a beast and his performance in Network is on of the many reasons it occupies my list of favorite films. It's been too long since I've watched American Beauty and that's a real crime, it's high time I bust out the old VHS and get watching. <br /><br />Also I admire the inclusion of Andrew Garfield's Eduardo, his control of the screen was masterful, a great emotional contrast to Eisenberg's stoic and disconnected Zuckerberg. I remember reading a article likening Eduardo and Mark's relationship to Jed and Charlie Kane's in Citizen Kane, one bred on ideal slowly dissolved on those same principles. What a great movie and I hope Garfield moves past tawdry comic book adaptations to capitalize on his staggering talent.

Whenever I watch The Insider I'm always amazed that he wasn't nominated. Such a great role for him and one that I believe is terribly underrated.<br />Other pics I might raise would be Anthony Hopkins in The Elephant Man, James Woods in Nixon, and Delroy Lindo for Malcolm X. But really, there are many great performances that are never even recognized (for any category), sometimes I'm more baffled at who isn't nominated than who is. maskofgojirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18305737005899440472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-5399657102099721992013-09-11T14:14:23.579-04:002013-09-11T14:14:23.579-04:00Really cool list, man.

His performance is hilarious, but while his broad hamminess suits the tone of the film I feel like it's just another scenery-chewing performance. Entertaining, but not Oscar worthy. I'm also not convinced on Cooper; I do think he does a good job with the role, but the writing of his character feels too obvious for the film - a closeted, tightly-wound military man with dark violence brewing underneath. Cooper does his best, but it still reads as a character in a film rather than a real person to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-64647381694249292592013-09-09T22:59:00.790-04:002013-09-09T22:59:00.790-04:00'Nuff said indeed.
