Trailer - Colin Firth's Best Actor Pitch in 'A Single Man'

DateSunday, November 8, 2009 at 12:53PM
One of the possible spoilers in this year's Oscar race is A Single Man, which could upset the apple cart for a few bigger ticket items thanks to the work of Colin Firth. He's already won the Best Actor prize at the Venice Film Festival, and the longer that race remains fairly open, the better his chances become.

It's also getting notice for Julianne Moore, who would be eying her fifth Oscar nomination since 1998, but her first since two nominations in 2003. It's not a film too many people had on their list heading into the fall. Being the debut feature for fashion designer Tom Ford, it may have seemed like one of those vanity projects you shouldn't take seriously. It's all different now.

In Contention has this film on its Oscar short list for nominations in three major categories, Best Actor, Supporting Actress, and Adapted Screenplay. And if they gave Oscars for trailers, it would have a shot at that, too. This is a damn good bit of editing.

You saw correctly - this is a Weinstein Company film. And in combination with Nine, it could once again put Harvey and Bob all over the map at the Academy Awards.
