Who had the better year - Casey Affleck or Josh Brolin?
Casey Affleck made us sit up and take notice that he's a a hell of an actor with two great performances in two great films. We learned that some members of the Affleck family can actually act.
Josh Brolin appeared out of nowhere with unforgettable performances in Planet Terror, No Country for Old Men and American Gangster.

He was good in NCFOM, but was simply passable in Planet Terror and Amercian Gangster. You also forgot In The Valley of Elah, in which he was only passable as well.

I had to go with Brolin, I've seen "No Country", "Planet Terror" , and "American Ganster". I watched "Gone Baby Gone" the other night, great flick. Aside from that, the only things I've seen Affleck in are "Ocean's 11" and "Chasing Amy" and those don't count for this year.

Brolin, it has been a great year for him. Affleck still annoys me quite a bit, but I have to hand it to him, he showed me he has some ability this year and the Academy would say that he has great ability.
I've liked Brolin since I saw him in one of my guilty pleasures, Hollow Man .

I was disappointed with Assassination, but would rate Gone Baby Gone as the best movie of the year. All of Brolin's roles were supporting, so I would have to go with CA.

I thought Lane was married to Highlander...guess I'm out of the loop.

And not to sound sick, but am I the only one who would pay money for a Brolin/Lane sex tape?
