Be an insult if he's not nominated. Not sure who'll be on the list though. Top of my head, can't really think of another that matched his role.

John Hawke from Winter's Bone. It's solely between those two.

I've wanted to see this movie for a while now. Is it like The Wrestler, or is it a straight up family drama?

There's family and there's drama, but there's more to it than just that.

It's performance driven more so than story, as the story is fairly simple, guy overcoming great odds. You've seen this many times I'm sure.

Probably wait to see this on dvd, I'm not insane about Bale, I think he's decent, but I'm not at all a Wahlberg fan, and from that trailers this doesn't look like anything new erm

Bale is outstanding. Mark is typical as always. Stallone was a much better actor in Rocky than Mark is in this movie. Rocky also has the better dramatic climax fights.

Still an very good movie and on of the best of this year.

I didn't realize until the end of the film that this was based off the guy that the, Dropkick Murphys song, Warriors code is about. I liked this movie. It had a lot less to do with boxing than i originally anticipated but that's not a bad thing. Bale definitely did a good job and so did the rest of the cast. There is some really good drama here.

The combat is a powerful drama and emotionally moving that has an incredibly strong and the best performance by Christian Bale in a very, very long. Honestly, I did not like a boxing movie since Raging Bull this property. With every end of the year honors and speak so many films that recently launched in the coming weeks will be potential winners, it is worth every effort to see the movie The Wrestler.

Can't say I've ever thought of the Joker as being a skinny and balding crack-head with a nervous twitch.
