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
