I saw this headline on the Onion, and thought it was a joke.

I know who knows he won't be nominated for both--anyone who knows the rule that no actor or actress can be nominated in a single category more than once (and both roles are the lead). He certainly has a shot with Shame--we'll have a better idea once it opens in early December; however, he has no chance with A Dangerous Method.
I thought Viggo Mortenson was the lead in A Dangerous Method?
Don't think the movie did particularly well on the festival circuit, which certainly seems like Oscardeath to me.
It was received really well within some critical circles, including much of the staff for Film Comment and Slant.
Knightley's performance is pretty much the worst thing ever.

That was hilarious. "You could have just texted."
I'm a sucker for those skits too. I remember the 1997 awards being hilarious.
That's pretty much what I want the most out of the Oscars. Billy Crystal reacting to Lisbeth Salander's strangeness, crying next a horse, and getting into a staring match with the robot from Hugo.
That's exactly the kind of stuff I don't like about the Oscars. I don't need all that forced unfunny nonsense just give me the awards.
He mentioned texting! See, Billy Crystal may be old, but he's totally hip with the kids!
Yeah Chris Rock's gig is looking better with each passing year.
Billy Crystal is one of the best hosts in Oscar history. I know that we all wish Bob Hope could be the Oscar host forever, but unless he puts his head in a jar or becomes a cyborg that's just not possible.
Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldberg and Robin Williams should host the Oscars together every year and that way, after I've sat through the whole miserable thing following two months of telling myself that I'm not gonna watch a second of the Oscars because they're so lame, I will have received the punishment I deserved
What bizarre choices of casting. I like Fichtner, but they needed some nondescript hot lady to stand around and say nothing and they went with the career-dwindled Megan Fox? And Vinnie Jones, what? I found that commercial more sad than funny.
