The Dude Abides: Bridges for Best Actor
Best Actor is shaping up as a career award for Jeff Bridges. The long-time actor has been nominated for five Oscars, but never won the gold. His role as a washed up country singer has earned rave reviews, and Kit Bowen predicts he’ll win over George Clooney and Colin Firth.
Tom Ford’s “A Single Man” is a gem, writes Kit Bowen. Given an opportunity to showcase his talents, Colin Firth gives a memorable performance as a lonely gay college professor. Julianne Moore is deserving of her first Oscar, Bowen says, while Ford’s directorial debut is hard to top.
