I am a Ralph Fiennes fan and it was great to see him play something wildly different and execute it so delightfully. I felt he deserved a nomination when I saw it and was glad to see him get a Golden Globe nomination.

But the movie itself I have to agree with you - it was good in its own way (6 or 7 out of 10) but nominated for best film? Either the competition was truly pathetic or the academy saw something more in this movie than I did - maybe I need to see it again. I kept thinking as I was watching it that there could be so much more to this movie but I never discovered it.

I'd have rather Ralph been nominated for "In Bruges" as a supporting actor - I loved him in that movie which went completely under the radar.
