It’s going to be an interesting night at the Oscars with some outstanding movies and great performances looking to capture Hollywood’s biggest prize. The Best Actor award should come down to three men. Bradley (no last name required), Michael Keaton and Eddie Redmayne. All three performances were outstanding and powerful.

Was there any doubt who was going to win last night? Difficult for any of us to know for sure how a man who has been gone almost 150 years handled a situation like the issue of slavery and a Civil War, but I’m guessing this was as close as it gets with him playing Lincoln. This guy is a pro and could potentially, if not already, be considered the [...]
