Worthy of award nominations

Rating: 5/10 (31 December 2017)

I was surprised to learn that Paul Bettany was not nominated for best supporting actor by any recognized organization. He gave the most sympathetic performance in the film, in a perverse sort of way. He is the reason that the film stays on my mind after more than a decade.
But I'm equally surprised that "The DaVinci Code" did not receive a Razzie nomination for worst on screen couple. There was absolutely no chemistry between Hanks and Tautou. It's not the 20-year age gap; that's common in movies. I suspect that a major problem is that the French actress is not comfortable acting in English-language films (which she rarely does).
