Nominate Michael Stuhlbarg for an OSCAR!
Brad Pitt (Benjamin Button), take notice.
How do you play the lead in a tragicomedy and hit all the right, complex notes at the right time? How do you make ordinariness mesmerizing?
Stuhlbarg knows.
At most, he deserves the Oscar for Best Actor and our heartfelt appreciation for turning the character on a page into a 3-dimensional mensch we'll never forget. It's not every actor who has the precious ability to make us laugh through our tears.
For that, and for creating a truly beloved character through the most astonishing range of delicate facial expressions, he deserves, at the very least, a nomination.
