And this year's career achievement Oscar goes to...
Gary Oldman has long been considered one of the best working actors in movies and it's also been a mystery as to how he doesn't have an Oscar. In fact, Oldman has never even been nominated for an Academy Award. So unless Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy from Let the Right One In's Tomas Alfredson continues the streak of disappointing English language debuts from highly touted foreign directors, I'm going to say that Oldman will be getting his first nod and potentially his first Oscar. I'm not quite sure what is coming out at the end of the year but so far there really haven't been any performances that could trump the Academy's penchant for giving awards based on career achievement over actual performance.
Anyway, here's the latest trailer for "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy". While the first trailer played to the art house crowd, this one seems like it's aimed at the mainstream audience. And it hits its target.
