Which is your favorite Paul Giamatti film? There's so many but personally his performance in Cinderella Man sticks out the most. Other notables include American Splendor, Sideways, Man on the Moon and Illusionist.
Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Paul Giamatti. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
Say what you will about awards-show season (seriously, comment below!), but each awards ceremony is hard to ignore once the red carpet is rolled out. Tonight saw Hollywood welcome the red carpet of the Golden Globes, the Oscars' jealous little brother. The night is especially important for film (Oscar nominees are announced later this week, and a Globes win could sway Academy voters), but television also has a lot at stake with this ceremony the only major TV awards show until the late-summer Emmys.
It's shiny trophy time in Hollywood, but before the bald-headed first-place prizes get handed out on February 22, the Golden Globes--also known as "The Oscars' precursor"--have to be doled out. The nominees are in, and the field features familiar faces and some surprising entries.
Last night, the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards got many things right, and a whole lotta things wrong. Cable networks continued to stack their trophy cases and prove they're better than the broadcast behemoths with major wins, and the big victors of the evening--both of which barely move the needle in the ratings department--showed once again that American viewers just don't watch the quality stuff.
But the big story of the gala was the cringe-worthy ceremony, which is being labeled a disaster by those unfortunate enough to have sat through it.
HBO's favorite gets four nominations, including program of the year; others up for top honors include Lost, Mad Men.
Paul Giamatti is a true actor. You really believe that he got into acting because he loves it for what it is. You'll never see him in any tabloids and you won't hear any gossip about him. In his roles, you sense more realism than many other actor's who are considered more talented than he.
To me, Paul Giamatti is an actor's actor. He has crossed many different genres such as comedy (Private Parts), mystery (Lady in the Water), drama (Cinderella Man) and others while exceeding expectations each time. He is a great character actor especially in such portrayals as Harvey Pekar in American Splendor and as Miles in Sideways. I feel these performances should have at least garnered him an Oscar nomination but sadly so far he has been snubbed. Not sure why, but he has many notable performances to garner recognition even from movie fans with high expectations. I look forward to many more films with Paul Giamatti and I am firm in the belief he will not let me down.
