Oscar Snubs: ‘Tigerland’ (2000) and ‘In Bruges’ (2008) Colin Farrell is one of those actors that only occasionally shows off his true potential. In the right role, he’s outstanding, but when miscast or caught in something rather mediocre, he lowers himself to the occasion instead of rising to it. Still, he’s given more than a few excellent performances, more than enough to warrant his inclusion as the newest alumnus in the Under the Circuit series here at The Awards Circuit. Farrell is also a Golden Globe winner, something many of the previous subjects in this series can’t claim. Here’s someone, who as you’ll see, runs the gamut in Hollywood in terms of projects, and he’s a guy that I’m confident has his best days still to come. With that said, let’s dive right in and go Under the Circuit with Colin Farrell! Read more on Under the Circuit: Colin Farrell… Categories: Under the Circuit

"J. Edgar" seems to be a real Oscar contender. J. EDGAR There is little doubt in my mind that like Oliver Stone’s brilliant Nixon (1995) there will be critics who admire Eastwood’s J. Edgar and those who do not. They will each have their own reasons and be downright passionate about their opinion, because Eastwood’s work, and the subject of Hoover brings out such emotions. Count me in as one of the critics considering this an American masterpiece (however flawed) and brilliant study of a man’s tortured soul. Oddly though he hated President Richard Nixon, the pair had more in common than either would liked to have confessed. Daringly, writer Dustin Lance Black, who won a well deserved Academy Award for Milk (2008) and Clint Eastwood have explored Hoover’s life warts and all, focusing on his huge contributions to law enforcement in the United States, but not forgetting what a cruel, vicious and vindictive man he could be. The film is also about power, how to build it, keep it insulated, keep yourself in a position where you are not only respected but feared, never recognizing what you are doing to be an abuse of that very power. For fifty years he held the position of FBI Director, in some cases because Presidents feared replacing him because of what he might had on them. Presidents, the highest office in the land, feared J. Edgar Hoover, and they were right to do so because he was sometimes vicious in his zeal to protect the fabric of America, never really understanding that often he was he people needed protecting from.
