F1

Went into this knowing nothing about racing or the cast outside of Brad Pitt. Fantastic ensemble with many familiar faces I was pleasantly surprised by. Had all the right pieces for a gripping racing opus, almost to a cookie cutter degree - but entertaining throughout. However I was more moved by the pacing and high energy racing than Brad Pitt's acting. My personal fav was Sarah Niles. I love everything she's in and she deserves her flowers. Close second was Tobias Menzies because plays the line between rich pompousness and traitorous so so so well. Oscar Predictions: I think they have a solid shot for the Editing or Sound noms. I thought the use of sound was brilliant and the editing was a close second.
