The real Best Actor Oscar Winner for 2001

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2002)

It is incredulous that R.C. did not get the Oscar for his performance in this film! His performance was brilliant! I am so impressed with his scope, his depth, his mixture of boyish charm, intellectual brilliance, his range of emotions, and his acting skills. His earlier performances only hinted at what he could do....... if given the chance. Now he had it, and I'm one of many who feel he came through with shining colors! With deference to Denzels' superb talent, the choice of his role over Russels' was an insulting misjudgement. I hope R.C. knows that the public does know better than the "peers" who slighted him!
