Where's John Mahoney? One of the best

My ears still hurt from the loud and overwrought score of Interstellar. It was more intrusive than that monster wave. Might have been a good movie under all that sound.

Is that what it does? I have not seen it or read the book. Great cast, though. (No one has mentioned Eileen Atkins, typically a scene-stealing supporting player in British productions.)

I think when actors vote for awards, they give other actors extra points for working through massive makeup and prosthetics… These are the Ron Perlman points… many frequently claimed by Johnny Depp. You can be good or bad underneath all that stuff, but it must be an added challenge to play a role if you've got ten…

Yes, she was amazing. Clooney, Wilkinson also good. Clooney had Syriana; Wilkinson will have his day sometime too—maybe with a little memory of this role to help his chances. He lost to Bardem in this round, so it was no Butterfield 8. Swinton's Karen sticks with you, kind of like Bardem's character.
