That's amazing. I'm so happy for Frank. I'm very excited about that. I'm thrilled that Nancy's dad would be recognized in such a manner. He so deserves it. It was a fantastic performance.
Of course, I'm more of a Dean Martin fan, but I can give Frank his props. He did an outstanding job in this movie.
Richly derved for a great performance. Interesting top 10, and I'm delighted by the inclusion of numbers 6, 7 and 8.
Hey pallie Keith, our Dino has been robbed....where is his stellar performance in "Rio Bravo?".....certainly that is the most outstanding performance by a singer....
Steve: I was surprised by some in the top 10. I agree with you on 6 through 8. I do think Frank deserves it.
DMP: I know what you mean. While it didn't surprise me about Frank, I was hoping that Dino would have cracked the top 10. He was awesome in Rio Bravo. I just don't think he gets the recognition he deserves in his acting career.
Pretty solid list but I don't know about JT in "Alpha Dog".
*Note to self: See "From Here To Eternity"
I know what you mean about JT. I think that's because of what era we live in. I definitely hope you see From Here to Eternity. Great film.
