So yeah, the Academy did a really good job here. The only three performances I missed out on here that I'd like to "apologize" to are Robert Downey Jr. in Zodiac, Morgan Freeman in Gone Baby Gone, and Robert De Niro in Stardust, who may have been awful but kept me cracking the shit up because...Robert De Niro. Gay pirate. Named Shakespeare. OH MY GOD.
