  1. A whole article about Paul Giamatti and not a single mention of Big Fat Liar.

    Sad. I guess you could say…I’m blue.

  2. This comic book movie? Show some love for American Splendor

  3. He was great in the role of Jerry Heller in Straight Outta Compton

  4. Still can’t believe he wasn’t nominated or awarded for Sideways

  6. No role of his will ever match the one he played in the cinematic masterpiece, Shoot Em Up.

  8. I feel like he should have gotten an Oscar for sideways

    Did he?

  9. Veal Chop from Safe Men is my favorite role that he’s played. I love that fucking movie.

    And while it was a small part, he was great in John Dies in the End.

  12. American Splendor is one of my top 5 favorite films! I show it to everyone who hasn’t seen it. I’ve got a small working collection of Pekar’s work because of it!

  13. Quite honestly, his performance as Pig Vomit in Private Parts was absolutely Oscar worthy.

  16. I got hooked on Paul Giamatti from American Splendor. He’s due and deserves it.

  22. I hope so too . I’d be really pissed if it goes to the Oscar baiter Bradley pooper

  23. His best performance, one of the best by anyone, is when he fired that dude in Billions. It might be a spoiler, but just watch it.

  25. It’s called American Splendor and Harvey would’ve hated this headline

  26. I’ve watched American Splendor many times, great movie. Judah Freelander deserves an Oscar for his supporting actor role.

  27. life is so strange sometimes. I watched this movie 5 days ago. his performance is great.

  28. How is this movie a comedy? It was just a feel good. Not one joke in the movie was funny. Just feel good.
