Given its leftist political sympathies, I'm sure the Academy likes to "share the wealth" when it comes to their golden statuettes, but Cate Blanchett's portrayal of Bob Dylan was not just eerily accurate; it was revelatory. Coming from someone well-familiar not only with Dylan's mannerisms & various artistic incarnations, I actually LEARNED something about him from her performance. By sheer skill she illuminated a mercurial and mysterious figure of vast cultural importance. It was like shining a spotlight on the dark side of the moon. Then again, I'm a hopeless Dylan fan and that movie was made of nerds by nerds for nerds. We're a niche market. I'm sure Tilda Swinton was great.

Dude,
You should be in bed, getting a good night's rest, not blogging about someone's mom.
