He won Best Actor for that role -- nm - amoxy Aug 4, 11:44 12
- yes, though he arguable should have been "supporting". Though Foster is superb in it too, so I'm not sure I'd say Hopkins stole it. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 11:44 11
  - she was the lead actress and he was the lead actor -- nm - zork Aug 4, 11:48 2
    - I think the original intent was for it to be a supporting role, but I could be wrong. -- nm - mara Aug 4, 11:52 1
      - perhaps, like the way Gregory Peck was supposed to get sole top billing in Roman Holiday? - zork Aug 4, 11:57
  - You could say the main "villian"/Buffalo stole the show too. He had some great scenes. But, obviously didn't top Foster and Hopkins -- nm - Flavorize Aug 4, 11:47 4
    - so freaky when my wife pointed out that the captain in Monk is that guy. - zork Aug 4, 11:51 3
      - yep. He was a cop in Heat too. That slow drawl that he has will always be freaky -- nm - Flavorize Aug 4, 12:03
      - Also the warden in Shutter Island. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 4, 11:54 1
        
        i instantly recognised him there -- nm - zork Aug 4, 11:58
  - This. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 11:46
  - Yeah.....shortest time for a actor winner ever. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 11:45
  - it's a two-hander -- nm - chuckles Aug 4, 11:45
