Posted: 1/15/06 at 2:41amForgive me for posting OT, or if there's already a post about this (I did search, really I did), but I just saw Breakfast on Pluto http://imdb.com/title/tt0411195/ Best. Movie. Ever. Run don't walk. Cillian Murphy is at his very best as a naive drag queen whose amazing perspective gets her through the most difficult situations. She's kind of like Forrest Gump with a brogue. Liam Neeson and Brendan Gleeson also are wonderful in this film, as is Ruth Negga. I have thought about it for a couple of hours now and read many reviews and I can come up with no more words than "just brilliant." The costume design is the best I've seen in a long time. Each costume was more amazing than the last. Go now, don't even finish reading this sentence.

Posted: 1/15/06 at 8:48amI've heard wonderous things about his performance. Did he get a Golden Globe or SAG Awards nod?

He got a Golden Globe nod for Best Actor Musical/Comedy. I don't believe he received SAG recognition.
Murphy is indeed breathtaking, but the movie isn't that great.
