Where are the Oscars?

Rating: Null/10 (26 July 2003)

Not so much for the film (although it was brilliant!) but for the acting performance of Christian Bale. He managed to single-handedly carry this massive Spielberg film on his small shoulders from start to finish. I see he won a couple of Young Artists Awards, but this display of acting is surely competition for the cream of 1987 - incidentally the Best Actor Oscar for '87 was won by Michael Douglas for 'Wall Street'. Christian Bale, I feel, deserved to be considered - aged 13 or not!
