I see what you mean, Funs. I thought he was very hammy with all that mugging and stuff he did. Although he was accurate to the character, it was not a subtle role that demands quality acting. I dont think it deserves an Oscar, which should be reserved for the pinnacle of acting ability, think Streepsque, with difficult roles delivered well.
I totally agree about Big Mel and Amy, they were spot on.
anyway, I saw you the other night at ROA with AP while waiting at the door!
