Now I have seen all 5 nominees for best actor. They are George Clooney in Michael Clayton, Daniel Day Lewis (the winner of the Oscar) in There Will Be Blood, Johnny Depp in Sweeney Todd, Tommy Lee Jones in In the Valley of Elah and Viggo Mortensen in Eastern Promises.
The winner of the Andrew Awards for Best Actor (again a drum roll of the mind) is...
Johnny Depp in Sweeney Todd!
OK...yes, Daniel Day Lewis played an intense role. But how many times have we seen play intense, smoldering, emotionally unstable. That is his bread and butter. But Depp played a role no one even knew if he could do. And he pulled it off fantastically. His singing was very good, and he projected his emotions with song and made me care about this character. Not always agree with his choices, but care about what happens to him...and again, I will say, all in song.
All the actors did great. Viggo Mortensen blew me away and I have posted here about Jones and Clooney.
Sharlynn agrees in this category too.
Anyone else seen all 5 performances? What do you think?
