Spontaneous Musings

Love these reviews, which I think are completely on the money. I, too, wish Strathairn had won the Oscar. Philip Seymour Hoffman was amazing in his portrayal of Capote, yes; but in a way, I think Strathairn had the harder task. It's *hard* for an actor to remain that still, that introspective, and have it come across onscreen. A slight lift of the eyebrows, a twitch of the mouth, and you could tell what Murrow was thinking and feeling better than all the histrionics that pass for acting in most films today.
