Felt like he was in the groove there as well. Agreed about eXistenZ, although I have issues with that movie as a whole. The CRASH ensemble was interesting as well, although I don't know that Spader shown out in the same way as the others. He was fine, but not extraordinary.<br /><br />Vulnavia: Actually, I listened to the Irons' commentary this time around, and he spoke to that, saying that "Oscars are given not just for the role, but for an actor's body of work, so it felt totally justified to thank Cronenberg." It was absolutely a retroactive award for DR.Dr. AC https://www.blogger.com/profile/00222795645885007090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803045395906423494.post-64857854298129020422011-08-04T09:02:37.097-07:002011-08-04T09:02:37.097-07:00"right alongside the Academy’s slighting of J..."right alongside the Academy’s slighting of Jeremy Irons’ dual turn as the Mantle twins in Dead Ringers two years later."<br /><br />It should be noted that when Irons won the Oscar for Reversal of Fortune the very next year, he thanked David Cronenberg.
