Congratulations to Demián Bichir and A Better Life

Demián Bichir has been nominated for Best Actor for his performance in A Better Life, which I reviewed here.  (Story by Roger L Simon.)

With no false modesty (and little of the other kind) I’ll quote myself:

If the Academy is watching, and a bigger name actor isn’t playing a mental patient or tragic leftist politician, that one scene should get Bichir one of those gold statues.
