You don’t have to identify with a character to play them, you just have to understand. There’s a difference, I think, between identifying with and understanding? — Cillian Murphy

#in my head they’re going #‘hey you know what’ #’what’ #‘batman’s a real son of a cunt’ #‘truth’ #‘let’s do something about it’ #‘yes’ #‘but first let’s get some clean towels’ #‘righty right’ 

 I think my biggest surprise this morning was Christopher Nolan and Andrew Garfield being snubbed.

Inception is by not the most emotional movie of the year, but the fact that Christopher Nolan was overlooked for Best Director was so surprising. It takes a very talented director to helm a movie so complex as Inception and have it all makesense. And the fact that Nolan managed to do it with such style and finesse was really impressive. As much as I loved The King’s Speech, I thought there were flaws in its direction so that parts of the story was not explained as well as it could have and that’s a relatively straight-forward film. Inception on the other hand is a completely new world and I think the Academy really screwed up choosing to overlook Nolan’s vision and his work.

The Social Network is by no means my favorite movie of the year, as many of you know, but Andrew Garfield being snubbed for Best Supporting Actor is insane as he was one I considered pretty much a lock. He was the soul of a movie that otherwise probably would not have one and his singular performance really grounded the more extravagant characters— making everything that much more real. I’m just really surprised.
