Best Actor - Keaton does dramedy very well.
Supporting Actor - Norton gets recognized for playing himself!
Best Picture - So much creativity packed into the width and depth of a Broadway theater.
Best Director - Getting this script on film that appears to be a single shot was miraculous. All the actors were superb--all of them.
There five other nominations as well.
