Brilliant campaigning on Weinstein's part here. Dujardin made a guest appearance on Saturday Night Live last week on a current throwaway sketch.

Re: SAG: Best Actor
My problem with him is he is always playing George Clooney. My favorite Clooney performance is O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU. It was such a parody of his pretty boy persona. I think he should do more comedy. I also like him in OUT OF SIGHT and THREE KINGS, but that was before I knew him as George Clooney the movie star.Sabin wrote:I was really hoping Pitt would shift the momentum. Jean Dujardin is pretty darn good, and as long as George Clooney doesn't win for The Descendants I'm happy.
(Man, if you had told me ten years ago, I'd be saying that...wow! I was a huge stumper for his work in Out of Sight and Three Kings. The Descendants has to rank as one of his worst performances since Batman & Robin.)
Dujardin is great. Prior to seeing THE ARTIST, I thought his winning would be a repeat of Benigni's disgusting win. However, I am perfectly sanguine with Dujardin getting the Oscar. Sure, I want it to go to Oldman (or the non-nominated Fassbender or DiCaprio), but the handsome French man is better than Clooney.

Re: SAG: Best Actor
I was pretty sure the "pretty boy" vote would split between Clooney and Pitt - let's hope Dujardin carries the momentum to Oscar night!

I'm just TeamAnyoneButClooney at this point, although I'd easily go with Pitt out of the three frontrunners.
I knew they'd show that unconvincing hospital scene for Clooney's clip though.

Thank Jesus! I'm so hoping the Oscar goes to him.
