George Clooney: "Do I look like I'm negotiating?!"
Daniel Day-Lewis: "I abandoned my boy!"
Johnny Depp: Todd reacts to having the Judge in his chair and he gets away.
Tommy Lee Jones: Haven't seen it.
Viggo Mortensen: "Tell them, that when you saw me, I had stars on my shoulders."

Cate Blanchett: Her speech to the British army. Very Braveheart.
Julie Christie: "I'll see you tomorrow." or "He doesn't make me feel bad."
Marion Cotillard: Edith Piaf realizes Marcel is dead or when she first hears Non, je ne regrette rien
Laura Linney: Haven't seen it.
Ellen Page: Juno asks her dad how she can be sure if love exists.

Casey Affleck: Haven't seen it.
Javier Bardem: "You've been betting on it your whole life."
Hal Holbrook: Haven't seen it.
Philip Seymour Hoffman: Haven't seen it.
Tom Wilkinson: Leaving a voice mail with the radio blaring in the background.

Cate Blanchett: Haven't seen it.
Ruby Dee: The cabinet monologue.
Saoirse Ronan: Haven't seen it.
Amy Ryan: Haven't seen it.
Tilda Swinton: She decides to have **someone** killed.

And on a personal note, I hope they do the screenplay reading thing again, where they read a snippet of scene description from the script, then leads into one line of dialog. Also liked it when they show the cutaway between each scene. Also, I wish they'd go back to describing how certain effects were achieved rather than just announcing the names for catagories like Make-Up or Visual Effects. Or is it because they are tired of saying "This was CG, this was CG and, oh look, this was CG." Maybe it's just me, but I believe that every away should be given their moment to shine in their respective fields.

:::SPOILERS:::
that is definitely my choice. the academy always tends to pick the wrong clip. i just hope they do not use the "i drink your milkshake" scene. in the context of the entire movie, it works (some people disagree, i know); i just do not think it is the highlight of day-lewis' incredible performance.

Now, now, Akash. Let's let Sabin make up his own mind on that. After all, I would hate to say we unduly influenced him.

Though, I guess if he read any part of the Sweeney Todd discussion, he knows who does and doesn't like it and pretty much why.

I'll take half the blame because I didn't see the spoiler warning but on the other hand I did NOT see that spoiler warning. Whatever. It's fine. I'm guessing that's kind of a major 3rd Act revelation thing and DO NOT TELL ME IF IT IS, FLIPP!

It was a small warning, anyone could have easily passed it. Next time spoliers ensue we should make the word caps as such: SPOILER... or if there were some way to change the font color so you could highlight the spoilers if you really wanted to look at them.

I'm sorry that I ruined that plot point for you, Sabin, but I did happen to start the post out with a spoilers warning for that very reason.

Linney's moment will be her tirade against how the upscale nursing home still hold death and rot but just mask it behind expensive walls, if it doesn't contain too much profanity (can't remember).

Holbrook will ask Hirsch if he can take him as his adoptive son.

Here are some ideas. **SPOILERS** ensue...

George Clooney: "You don't kill me! I’m the one who gets things done."
Daniel Day-Lewis: "I abandoned my boy!" or the scene where Daniel entertains Eli's proposal for his introduction at the new derrick.
Johnny Depp: Todd's horror upon realizing he's just killed his own wife.
Tommy Lee Jones: Haven't seen it.
Viggo Mortensen: Haven't seen it.

Cate Blanchett: "I have a hurricane within me that will strip Spain bare!"
Julie Christie: Fiona and her husband both tacitly ignore the fact that she just put the frying pan in the fridge.
Marion Cotillard: Edith Piaf realizes, after a vivid dream, that her lover, Marcel, is dead.
Laura Linney: Wendy shares a tender moment with the dog while her married lover fucks her.
Ellen Page: Juno finally admits to her parents that she's pregnant.

Casey Affleck: Haven't seen it.
Javier Bardem: The coin toss in the gas station with the trembling old man. Simply terrifying.
Hal Holbrook: Haven't seen it.
Philip Seymour Hoffman: Gust argues with his boss in his opening scene. Great moment.
Tom Wilkinson: "I am the goddess Shiva." Very Howard Beale-esque.

Cate Blanchett: Jude simply cannot believe that he's meeting Allen Ginsberg.
Ruby Dee: Da slap. "You don't shoot cops."
Saoirse Ronan: Briony convinces herself that Robbie's the one that she saw, while coaching Lola after the attack.
Amy Ryan: Helene is introduced sitting on her couch with a friend.
Tilda Swinton: "Where do you expect me to find $10M dollars?"
