Agree with others that Jack Nicholson wax brilliant in OFOTCN, but I also thought his performance in As Good as it gets was quite brilliant.

Oscar nominations - Best actor:
Timothee Chalamet - Call Me By Your Name
Daniel Day-Lewis - Phantom Thread
Daniel Kaluuya - Get Out
Gary OIdman - Darkest Hour
Denzel Washington - Roman J. Israel, Esq
as it wasn't even the best performance in the film, I would be disappointed if Oldman gets it (not that I have seen any of the others yet).

Really hope that Frances McDormand repeats her Oscar victory from '96....both wonderful performances.

De Niro in Casino, when Sharon Stone kicks off and the Police are called to his house, the most natural piece of acting I've ever watched, superb.
Come to think of it.......................I haven't acted in a film either.
These nominations have been d'Ascoyned.

I thought his acting was sublime and the prosthetic fat suit was incredible. I just wish he had nailed the sound of Churchill better.
The syntax and delivery were great but I kept hearing Gary Oldman and It jarred with me.
No doubt in the future they will be able to tweak the tone of voices in post production to mimick real people.
