The bit where he blows up the pool is excellent.

How do you vote for best director? How do you know the guy wasn't terrible and the actors bailed him out?

that's a pretty good question.. but i'm sure that the guys that get nominatedjim wrote:How do you vote for best director? How do you know the guy wasn't terrible and the actors bailed him out?
are nominated for a pretty good reason..
also, my question.. how the hell do they distinguish what a "supporting actor" is?
javier bardem is the star of "no country".. yet he's up for "supporting actor"..

Re: Michael Bay gets to vote on Best Director
I've always assumed it had to do with total screen time but it's really not clear.
No Country had 3 leads. One of them was nominated for best actor, one for best supporting actor. All were equally important in the movie, but I think Tommy Lee had more total screen time than Bardem.

ah, dang it, that's right.
Haven't seen Elah yet. The clip looked like classic Tommy Lee, though. I'm getting some of his movies mixed up; I recently saw The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada and he plays a similar character to what he plays in No Country and what it looks like he plays in Elah.
