I’m not even going to appeal to the “DiCaprio screamed and crawled around for two hours” argument I’ve seen, as I think he did have an Oscar nomination-worthy performance. In my opinion, I thought Keaton’s performance of a man pulled in two different directions - his Catholic upbringing and the truth - was far more compelling than DiCaprio’s performance of a man struggling to survive and take revenge on those who wronged him. But I also saw " Spotlight," and I was amazed that Michael Keaton was not nominated for his role of Walter Robinson, the head of the Spotlight investigative journalism team who broke the story on child molestation in the Catholic Church. The realism, the portrayal of loss and betrayal, the isolation: It was a poignant and beautiful movie.
