If Ethan Hawk doesn't win best actor for his performance in Blue Moon, I'm giving up on love and everything holy. Here's why.

This was a humiliating and triumphant portrayal of a man who history would never point to as defining in any way. But this kind of man is integral to out way of being. Further, he is completely benign—he hurts no one in his wake of love and understanding.

Mr.Hawk had nothing to gain by portraying himself in this manner. Other than being spectacularly written, this is not an attractive role, it exposes a darkness and ability to inhabit such. It is a life-goal type role, one which an actor would only accept after a lifetime of success. It is a swan song.

Best actor, as an Oscar, has always gone to the wealthier player, the guy who has shown his nuts, his talent, over years—not for a few pictures. It is an achievement award, not a decision abou who did the best job this one time (which is the best actress award).

We must give this year's award to the m I st skilled, most dedicated, and consistent actor who has shown over time, over countless ugly years, they are a true 'best actor'. Given the opportunity ti accept and portray such an inauspicious charachter—almost every line, for countless bars...please.

Please.
