re: Murray will get an oscar nom

Why? I liked the movie, but I don't get what seems to me to be the rather willful 'oscar buzz' around him. His performance here isn't markedly better than his performance in, say, Ghostbusters or Caddyshack, there's not much to his character, it certainly isn't a stretch for him, just a rather (appropriately) muted performance. Not great art.

It wasn't, maybe, a great year for movies, but I do think it was a great year for individual performances, and I don't feel like Murray's was one of the more impressive. If he gets the nod it'll be for the same reason they usually give veteran actors any acknowledgment--because they've so far failed to do so (or had any legit pretext).

I think it was, as you say, an artful character film, but I think there are plenty of people who deserve to be in front of him.
