Wes Bentley's Oscar Speech

Rating: 9/10 (2 December 1999)

I loved this film, and felt the performances were strong all around.
However, I feel very strongly that the work done by Wes Bentley - as the complex and troubled Ricky Fitts - was worthy of an Oscar.
I realize that new actors are unlikely to win, even if they are nominated, but I truly believe this should be an exception.
Kevin Spacey may receive the lead actor honor, and I grin from ear to ear when I think of that, but he might even tell you himself that his performance in this flick was second best.
