Probably my favorite of the many first-time nominees
Yes, I realize how silly and frivolous it seems to be posting about the Oscars now, but...
Ah, Viggo. Despite your presence in a few movies, I can't say I ever really noticed you until 2001 and the Lord of the Rings series, where my first thought was "damn that guy pulls off long hair even better than Orlando Bloom." Since then, though, you've been a (happily) inescapable part of the movies. You were serviceable if not outstanding in the Lord of the Rings, but then came your work with Cronenberg...ahhhhh. You were a revelation in A History of Violence (I was never expecting a performance like that, and it was absolutely brilliant), and you're even better in Eastern Promises. Your nomination was completely deserved. You are incredibly talented, and I'm thrilled to say that you're now an Oscar nominee. Keep it up, and it won't be too long before you're a winner (The Road?).
I gotta say, though, when I look at your name for too long I just start to giggle. VIGGO!

why have i not seen this picture before?!
Clive Owen is HOT! HOT! HOT! God, he's so hot he makes me want to see that stupid Elizabeth sequel with whatsherface. I think I'm the only one that doesn't think that'll get Best Picture love (hopefully it'll get some Best Supporting? Actor love ;) ). I mean, a sequel nominated for Best Picture? Yeah, it's a historical drama, but assloads of those will be coming out this year and it doesn't have the "OMG, that actress we've never heard of is really good in this!!!" shock that Elizabeth had. Let's not kid ourselves into thinking that this is another Godfather or Lord of the Rings.
... of course I am probably totally wrong, but that's the fun of the Oscars a year in advance. ;) And going back to the original point: CLIVE OWEN IS HOT!
