Paul Giamatti Selects

I have been a fan of character actor and indie favorite Paul Giamatti since I saw "American Splendor". I had a chance to revisit the movie "Sideways" on TV one weekend. I still can't believe the Academy snubbed his performance. He should have gotten the Oscar award just for that devastating scene where his ex-wife tells him she is carrying her new husband's baby. Of course they made up for their guilty feelings by nominating him the next year for "Cinderella Man". Anyhoo, as the 2007 Brooklyn Academy of Music Cinema Club Chair, he has picked movies for an eight-film series called "Paul Giamatti Selects". The series started 01 August and will run until 11 September. Click here for the schedule. His selections, which include "Dr. Strangelove", "Dawn of the Dead" and "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" show what kind of sense of humor he has.
