Another great contender cut due to an arbitrary rule.<br /><br />@Candice Frederick: I'm inclined to agree with you about the movie itself, but I still think Giamatti was great.<br /><br />@M. Carter: I totally would have included Anamaria Marinca as a snub if I thought there was ever any chance in hell of her getting nominated.

There...Paul Giamatti had that damn award LOCKED UP! There was nobody more deserving. Nobody. He was tragic and vulnerable and funny and just brilliant. I am bullish and obnoxious on this point, and I'm glad someone else agrees!<br /><br />And how oh how did "4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days" not win? Anamaria Marinca was astoundingly good.M.
