Kenneth Brannagh's hair, though, should win something

Goddamn right Plummer. It's a shame Beginners didn't go the distance here, but it's wonderful and so is he

It sucks that this is only his first though. He's one of those guys who deserves lots.

Me (to my wife): Beginners is a really good movie and I think you'd like it.
My wife: You're talking to me?
Me: Yeah.
My wife: We saw it, together.

He usually annoys me, actually. But I'm glad he won this one.

There are people who don't love him? Wow, I never thought that would happen. Admittedly he's the poor man's O'Toole, but that still pretty good.

It really is-- I think I literally spent every minute of it either laughing or crying

He should have won for The Insider ... and I don't usually like to play the "shoulda won/been nominated" game.

I liked him in The Insider too. But he did get a nomination for The Last Station which I thought was awful and which I thought he was intolerable in.

I don't even think he was nominated for that, and you're right. It's obvious playing Mike Wallace turned out to be some good karma for him, as someone else being as busy at such an advanced age.

I couldn't care less about any of these music nominees.

I wish Tinker had won. That's a great score (I really need to see the film though).

I wasn't because that's a stupid controversy.

I don't disagree but at the same time I would have a hard time voting for a score that punted on its climactic scene.
