Re: 2018 Oscar Nominations
After watching Darkest Hour I think it would be a crying shame if Gary Oldman didn't win for Best Actor. That was truly one of the most stunning performances I have ever seen. I know it's kind of a running gag of actors/actresses being nominated for making themselves ugly through makeup/prosthetics but this was so much more than that. His performance was so nuanced and he did such an incredible job of not only portraying Churchhill's courage and bombastic nature but it was his quiet moments of self doubt and worry that really made you connect with him. It was just an incredible movie in general and the rare movie that I wish was longer. I would have loved to have seen more of his Churchill throughout the war.
