I just found your blog and really enjoy it. I'd love to participate in these round tables if you need anymore contributors. I totally agree with Joakim that Mia should have won for Rosemary’s Baby and Michael Rooker as Henry was amazing! He should have been nominated as well. Some other great performances that I think should have been noticed by the Academy include: Deborah Kerr as Miss Giddens in The Innocents Catherine Deneuve as Carole in Repulsion Isabelle Adjani as Anna/Helen in Possession Hello!

I also loved Shelley Duvall in The Shining- I think she gave a wonderful, understated performance. She got a Razzie nod for it! People's perceptions of The Shining have really changed over the years. I wonder if in 30 years we'll all really love Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. Man, time got away fro me this week and I forgot to answer. :(

How do you choose just ONE Leprechaun movie?? I was going to say Warwick Davis, but couldn’t choose only one movie to nominate him for. How do you choose just ONE Leprechaun movie??

The only declaration I can make is that I don't think anyone deserves any Oscar nominations for any acting in this year's crop of horror movies. For all the horror Renaissance that is going on only a handful of movie will be remembered for this past year (Hostel, Descent, Hills Have Eyes, but is their any really awesome acting here)... Sadly I have seen pretty much nothing that is nominated at all in any catagory this year... although maybe that is not sad - it's all annoying. This question overwhelmed me.

I thought it appropriate considering the Creature's history with Oscar. Thanks for popping by, Cinebeats. For the longest time I would visit Cinebeats only to be greeted by the Mothra twins. Though I was sad that you weren't posting, the twins made me feel better. Stacie, even though I enjoy the Razzies on one level, it's obvious that at least part of their mandate is to rip into movies that aren't always bad, but are sometimes just daring. It's a shame they can't see the difference. Gary, though Leprechaun 4 is my favourite in the series, I think Davis' performance in 3 is slightly better. Warren, I'm sorry the question overwhelmed you. It was meant, like all roundtable questions, to be a bit of fluff, not something too serious. And the discussion wasn't confined to just one year. I'm sure there's some backyard horror master performance that you could thrill us with. Thanks, Dave. I thought it appropriate considering the Creature’s history with Oscar.

It’s an interesting, if brief, chat with some good suggestions. Personally, I agree with Stacie’s suggestion of Donald Sutherland for the ’70s edition of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, though my personal picks would have to be Wilford Brimley for Supporting Actor in The Thing and Peter Cushing in…well, just about anything (though I’ve always leaned towards his performance in the Hammer update of The Mummy).

Acting is the hardest thing for me to evaluate in films. Don’t get me wrong, I think the question was entirely appropriate - I was completely stumped though…
