I saw my last Best Picture nominee today! This was an excellent movie. It was just slightly dry in some spots, but wickedly funny in others. (Overall, it was excellent.) I can't say enough about Colin Firth's performance. It was stellar. The only other time I've felt so strongly about a nomination was in 2001 when Sean Penn was nominated for his role in I Am Sam. (He lost to Denzel Washington in Training Day, which I still think is a travesty.)
Anyway, between Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush, if a movie was just based on the acting alone I think this would be my choice. And I have nothing bad to say about it... I just think Inception was better. And I loved 127 Hours and The Social Network.
Helena Bohham Carter was so quietly good in this movie. I adore her. She is quirky and a fabulous actress. Very deserving of her nomination.
Well, I'm ready now! Bring on the Oscars!!!
