With the Academy Awards just around the corner, I thought I'd take a look at some of the nominees, starting with James Franco, nominated for Best Actor for 127 Hours.
I'll admit it, I haven't seen the movie. Call me a wimp, but (spoiler alert!) I don't want to watch James Franco cut his arm off.
Of course, he had practice in Milk. Why wasn't he nominated for that?
This year, he's both co-host and nominee. This is his moment.
You can go here to watch his participation in a round-table discussion with a host of other Oscar nominees.
I think he should have been nominated for Howl. I think it's so rare for a straight actor to play gay well enough to convince a gay audience. For my money, Franco did it in Howl.
