Clifton Collins Jr. for Best Supporting Actor

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2005)

Everybody is talking about Philip Seymour Hoffman's performance as Truman Capote. Yes, it is a masterful piece of work.
But the actor who really (unsuspectingly and surprisingly) blew me away was Clifton Collins Jr. as the killer Perry. His performance is heartbreaking. I've only seen one other picture of his ("Traffic"). But I've gotta tell all you people, this guy should be MAJOR, MAJOR movie star material. I truly hope the Academy members will award Mr. Collins with a Best Supporting Actor nomination. A bravura piece of acting like this from a relatively unknown actor needs to be recognized by the Academy. Mr. Collins, I salute your performance.
