okay, so now i understand why he won the golden globe. this movie was quiet, slowly paced, touching and sad. seeing catherine keener in these small roles breaks my heart. she deserves to be a bigger star than she is, not lost in the background of movies like the interpreter. i had no idea harper lee and truman capote were childhood friends. do most people know this? and i was surprised to see that dan futterman wrote the screenplay, yes barry from will & grace. i think that brokeback mountain is the better picture, which i'm assuming is why only hoffman's role was singled out, and that heath ledger deserves the academy award. however, if it ended up in philip seymour hoffman's hands i wouldn't consider it complete robbery.
