Time 's Richard Corliss praised William Hurt 's performance in Broadcast News ( film ) : `` Hurt is neat too , never standing safely outside his character , always allowing Tom to find the humor in his too-rapid success , locating a dimness behind his eyes when Tom is asked a tough question -- and for Tom , poor soulless sensation-to-be , all questions are tough ones '' .
The magazine also ranked Broadcast News as one of the best films of the year .
