The later ones are better. Thank you, though. Your insistent dissatisfaction with my O'Toole caricature is what drove me to better ones. Those early ones were really strange. Invested? Sick? Freudian? Hoo-ha. The best-actor award should go to the best actor or "best performance," rather. That actor/actor's performance is Peter O'Toole's in Venus. Some actors play characters, some play them well, and some bring such a sense of realism that you believe they are their character completely. Of course, a good script and a good film help, too.

The eyes are better. Anyway, I don't know why I feel so invested in O'Toole winning this Oscar. It's odd, probably sick and Freudian. But if those potential jack-asses don't give it to him I'm gonna be really heart-broken. I like this version of O’Toole the best. The eyes are better.
