    Kevin, I have always compared Christie’s and Spacek’s losses as well. Both swept the critics’ prizes and both ultimately lost the Oscar. At the end of the day ITB is Wilkinson’s movie just as AFH is Pinsent’s.

    I really like this year, specially Marion Cotillard Performance.. As a Indian guy living in a remote state, I was mesmerized by that performance and the movie too.. It was inspiring..
