Oscar Catch-up

So, I'm still trying to catch up on all of this year's Oscar nominees and winners. I recently watched "Crazy Heart" on a flight from NY to LA on Delta. Loving those individual monitors on the backs of the seats. I was really impressed by Jeff Bridges's performance. I always knew he was talented but man, get him onstage with a guitar and he really becomes that country singer we never knew existed within him. The wonderful Maggie Gyllenhaal played such a raw but loving character that I just really don't want to go any further.

I had to say I had no idea that Colin Farrell was in this film and then to find him singing, I have to say - again, I was impressed. And not bad for the first time director Scott Cooper.
