Lewis reprising his "Gangs of N.Y." role is Oscar worthy? Absolutely, considering how bad are most Oscar choices. Lewis delivers all the goods in this one -- one notes every labored breath of the actor, every strained feature, etc., -- in other words one sees "Acting" but does not get lost in the character.

Not that there is much interesting character for Lewis to portray in this movie. A monomaniacal crazy, from beginning to end. Compared to other P.T. Anderson films this was very thin on character development, very little in the way of character interaction, etc. What little plot this movie had also makes little sense. Why would he initially snub the would-be preacher when he is shown in the very beginning of the picture as a PR con artist who knows how to sway the locals?

I may sound a bit harsh in my critique of this movie, but this is because I like P.T. Anderson and was expecting more.
