Are you the one who makes the "Psifonian Awards" videos, or am I mistaking you for someone else? <br /><br />Anyways, I would totally understand adding people from miniseries or a TV movie to a list. For example, My best Actor for 1977 is Robert Powell for Jesus of Nazareth. I might even go as far as to add voice acting as well, if I am not quite impressed with live action performances for that year. <br /><br />Robert: "It's a grand jewel of shit". I might use this one day, but I am giving you credit now, because I was laughing so hard when I read it. By the way, I have never seen Jupiter Ascending, but having been here, I really do not plan to. <br /> ruthiehenshallfan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/17883466887090605114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-14155852173850893812015-08-17T21:23:27.766-04:002015-08-17T21:23:27.766-04:00Calvin: And Frank. :)Calvin: And Frank. :)Luke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-23666792398513339422015-08-17T21:16:15.716-04:002015-08-17T21:16:15.716-04:00And in About Time he makes a more endearing, likab...And in About Time he makes a more endearing, likable, charismatic and just overall better Richard Curtis lead than Hugh Grant could ever aspire to.Calvin Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392068349392739631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-79970152902559883462015-08-17T21:15:07.955-04:002015-08-17T21:15:07.955-04:00Gleeson is definitely the better actor.

I did not hate Tatum but I thought he handled the whole thing a tad, no, WAY to seriously. And Kunis was dreadful because she tried to give conviction but she's really not the sort of actress for that. I did not mind watching it personally because Redmayne was so fascinatingly awful, at least he was awful in an entertaining sort of way as opposed to the drab dullness of Kunis, Booth, and Tatum.Calvin Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392068349392739631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-88459942235959669412015-08-17T21:12:29.152-04:002015-08-17T21:12:29.152-04:00Apparently Redmayne was up for Domhnall Gleeson...Apparently Redmayne was up for Domhnall Gleeson's role in The Force Awakens and didn't get it.
