Jeff Bridges has been hovering on the radar of tone perfect character portrayals in American cinema for many years. He has come close with The Last Picture Show, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot and Starman in years past. Crazy Heart is his fourth Academy nomination and his best screen performance that has already won him the Golden Globe and the SAG award. I watched the movie this past weekend and have to say: "Bravo!" Mr. Bridges you fully deserve all the accolades and I hope you win what will be a fully deserved Oscar this year. Crazy Heart also satisfies in other respects. It is very nicely directed and has some excellent supporting portrayals (Maggie Gyllenhaal and Colin Farrell). Excellent movie in every way with a great music score to boot.
