    I'm actually thinking he could pull a best actor oscar for this one. He was really good.

    Damn I feel like snorting some blow out of a hookers ass now.

    We can always hope for a Raging Bull sequel: :grin:

    It was really good. Reminded me of Goodfellas a lot though, on the fence on whether that's a bad thing...

    They could have easily cut out 45 mins of this movie and still everything would've been intact. Also if I can comment, did anyone think once the FBI story kicked in, it was incredibly weak? The main FBI guy was not good and very unconvincing.

    He fit the boy scout role for me. I loved that confrontation scene on the yacht.

    I thought American Hustle was better. And as much as I love Leonardo, Christian Bale's performance was superior for the Oscar, mainly because it was a better written role. I couldn't get into Jordan as much as Irving.

    I did thoroughly enjoy Jonah Hill's role and performance. He should get Supporting Actor consideration.

    and of course, rep for anyone who posts the full nude scenes (standing in the doorway) for either Margot Robbie or Katarina Kas

    I think we will be seeing a lot of Margot in the future. Well done Italian-NY accent by an Australian girl.

    I've seen all of the best (supporting) actor nominees for the Golden Globes and I would pick Jonah Hill above them all. It's insane he isn't even nominated. Jared Leto had an oscar winning role but not an oscar winning performance.

    well, Best Actor is actually described as "Best Actor in a leading role." So, Jonah wouldn't qualify for that. It's rare where two roles are considered leading roles. Amadeus is the best example where both the Salieri and Mozart roles were considered leading roles.

    So despite me agreeing that Jonah's performance was arguably better than both Leonardo's and Christian's (i'd vote Bale over Jonah), his role doesn't qualify for the Best Actor in a Leading Role. No?

    Shirley McClain and Debra Winger "Terms of Endearment".

    Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis "Thelma & Louise".

    "Amadeus" is such a great film. F. Murray Abraham was gracious in his acceptance speech, saying he wished Tom Hulce could be with him on the stage (co-winners, if you will).

    Usually it's the oler actor who wins.

    WoW is as good as movie's get.

    I feel like I missed a high point of life though because I never got to go to a hookers and blow party.
