Gosford Park is simply a masterpiece. I was just awed by how well all those characters are developed, how the dialogue is so sharp and revealing. It has some of my favorite British actors in it anyway, so maybe I was biased going in, but if Maggie Smith doesn't get nominated for Supporting Actress there's no justice. Jeremy Northam is another stand out. I just didn't want the movie to end, and was tempted to immediately purchase another ticket and sit through it again. I may do so yet. This one smart and funny and poignant and all those good things you want a movie to be. If, God forbid, I could see only one movie this year it would be Gosford Park.
