How Could
Anyone Look at this Face and NOT Want to Give It a
Prestigious Award?
(or a Golden
Globe at least?!)
God only knows, but
for some reason it happened. First, Brendan was shamelessly
snubbed by the Hollywood Foreign Press and failed to garner
a nomination for his well-praised performance as Clay Boone
in Gods and Monsters. Ian McKellen received his best actor
nomination, the movie itself got a Best Film nod, and Lynn
Redgrave actually won for Best Supporting Actress (AND she
went out of her way to thank Brendan, even stepping so far
as to call him "a beautiful monster"). But did anyone bother
to give Brendan the recognition he so rightfully deserves?
No! They had him present an award with Jamie Lee Curtis
(which, judging from the expression on his face as he
presented, filled him with as much glee as a nomination
would have, so if he's not complaining, why should I?). Last
year he presented with a sour Minnie Driver, so at least he
improved on that.
