The Dude Abides
Jeff Bridge should finally be getting his due tonight for one of his best performances. It was twelves years ago, the Coen Brothers came out with my favorite of their films The Big Lebowski. The Dude has become one of the most iconic screen characters of the last two decades, partially due to people like discovering it after its release on DVD and playing it non-stop at college. Owen Gleiberman at EW has a good article about how this role might be key to Bridges winning the Oscar. The best performances in my opinion are the ones that create singular characters that stay with us and The Dude is certainly one of those.

Oh, fuck,I'm having Oscar fatigue...you know when, right before the awards, like a week before, you're so sick of all the nominees the only thing you're looking forward to is the previews for next year's movies...I'm having that. That's where I first heard of 500 Days of Summer, yknow.
