Bill Murray can't join his ancestors in the afterlife until he wins an Oscar

Unfortunately for us I'm betting that happens sometime next year:

The Academy loves shit like this, and so do I.

Laura Linney plays Margaret Suckley, FDR's "confidant" and "close friend" and "sixth cousin". One of those shouldn't actually be in sarcasm-quotes.

Olivia Williams, who you probably know either as the Hot Teacher from Rushmore or the Dead Guy's Wife from that movie that pushed everyone's expectations of M. Knight Shyamalan as a director way too high will be playing Elanor Roosevelt, FDR's "wife" and "first lady" and "fifth-cousin once removed". None of those should actually be in quotes.

Olivia Colman, who is apparently breaking out of weird British comedy television to play supporting roles in serious biographies of historical figures, will be playing a pre-coronation Queen Elizabeth.

Some weird British guy is playing King George VI. I dunno, he was in Van Helsing I guess, whatever, he's below "Aunt" and "Missy" in the billing on the IMDB page for the movie.

Let's talk about the man who personally beat Hitler to death with his walking cane and dragged America out of the Great Recession without the use of his legs and how everyone in this movie is involved in some sort of distant-cousin-fucking tryst or marriage of some sort.

    Huh

    Yep

    Guess I'll see this

    I read a really interesting book about FDR and/or Eleanor a while back and now I seem to have completely forgotten what it was.

    Now I just want to talk about Hot Fuzz and how the more I watch it the more I like it even better than Shaun of the Dead, which is saying something as that is probably my favourite film of the last however many years.

    So has Daniel Day-Lewis been splitting rails and practicing law in rural Illinois and sleeping in the same bed as his longtime bodyguard?

    No arguments there. I just think PTA as a director is much more accomplished at getting an Oscar worthy performance from actors than Spielberg. If anything, I'd say that Spielberg is actually not a very good actor's director.

    Which is why Day-Lewis is doomed.

    He went full President.

    I could agree with that. But I think DDL will transcend Spielberg's directing.

    From pictures on set Daniel Day Lewis looks shockingly like Lincoln raised from the dead, and we all know his acting won't be anything but amazing. However, Daniel Day Lewis the man does not have a habit of randomly karaoking with strangers in bars, and if the Academy values that as much as it should, Murray is gonna karaoke with a tiny gold man statue.

    Anthony Hopkins is portraying Alfred Hitchcock this year.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he got a nomination.
