Should have been nominated for an Oscar. I believe overlooked like Barry Fitzgerald was in the "Quiet Man". So many nuances providing sideways humor.

Must watch movie several times to appreciate all.

I believe the glue that holds the whole picture together.
One of the most 'quotable' characters of all time.

Yes! He was so fun to watch and absorbing in every scene.

Tim Blake Nelson studied the classics and is a writer/director himself, so his wonderful portrayal truly is acting at its very best.

He deserves the Oscar.
