Oscars--Already?
Keep your eyes on the Tony Awards Sunday night for what might be a preview of next March’s Oscars. The History Boys, the play that’s expected to rule the roost at the Tonys has already been a huge success in London and director Nicholas Hytner (The Crucible, The Object of My Affection) has already taken almost the entire cast and translated the play to film.Buzz is already starting to build about this Fox Searchlight fall release, so Hytner and the play win, and if Richard Griffiths bests Ralph Fiennes for Best Actor, along with Frances de la Tour (Madam Maxime from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) winning for Best Supporting Actress, the Oscar race will be off and running with its first serious contender displaying its wares.
Wow. And it’s just the beginning of June.

He actually won the Tony for his portrayal of Hamlet like ten years ago--just right after "Schindler's List." He also won a BAFTA for "Schindler", but you're right, overall, he's an actor that's taken for granted. He's too good and the fact that he's only been nominated for two Oscars, is ridiculous.
