However, for some reason I overlooked The Wrestler - even though it had such crtical acclaim. I taped if off TV a month or two ago and had a look this afternoon.
He deserved an Oscar for Best Actor (he was nominated in 2008). Amazing performance. He won the Golden Globe and the film itself won a Golden Lion (Venice).
Sean Penn won Best Actor in 2008 for 'Milk" - another I have not seen.
