2. I thought the little girl in "Beasts" was an amazing performer.

The movie wasn't my favorite, either, but I thought she was incredible -- and even more so given her young age.

I haven't seen all of 'em yet, either--we may watch Skyfall tonight (it's nominated for a few oddball awards, but none of the more central ones).

I agree w/you--thought Denzel's performance was a more difficult one than DD-L's...I'm not arguing that DD-L didn't do a fantastic job bringing Lincoln to life, but Denzel played a very convincing stage 3 drunk and he was on screen a LOT. It was a very nuanced job he did.
