Tom Cruise as a hitman? That's a lot of fun.

I'll never be considered an apologist for the man, but he absolutely nails Ray Charles--down to the mannerisms and the speech pattern.<br /><br />That said, I cannot fathom why Paul Giamatti was not nominated. It's such a good performance in a career of them. He should have been nominated (and won) here, and he should have been nominated for <i>American Splendor</i>.

My runner-up would've been Jim Carrey for <i>Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind</i> <br /><br />For me, it would've been like this....<br /><br />1. Paul Giamatti<br />2. Jim Carrey<br />3.

Agreed, and I would go just a bit further: Giamatti is perfect at playing guys who are great at making bad decisions to make sure they never get a break.aceblackblog.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08404695143187261837noreply@blogger.com
