Oscar Watch: "Hitchcock"

Hitchcock
Nominated for: Best Makeup

Yet another treat thanks to AMPAS that I may not have seen otherwise. I didn't know exactly what this film would entail, by it delved deeply into the making of Psycho. I didn't realize what a struggle making this picture was, considering how famous Hitchcock is for it. Hopkins acted very well, although not having seen Hitchcock himself, I can't assess how realistic it was. Likewise for makeup, I'm assuming it got nominated just because of Hopkins's makeup. But I loved the behind-the-scenes Hollywood stuff, the nitty gritty of making the film. It really was a very enjoyable film. I liked how his wife Alma also played such a central role. It's a shame the man never won an Oscar.
