Give the man the award

I went and saw Talk to Me the other night, thought it was a fantastic movie. Was one of those rare movies that had something to say and through saying that it made you cry and laugh. It was actually quite funny when it needed to be, and was funny at all the right times. The movie is the true story of Petery Greene, a 1960s-1970s Washington D.C. DJ that revolutionized radio DJs and helped the capital cope with the death of Martin Luther King Jr and kept the country from rioting. Behind all that the movie was ultimately about the friendship between him and his manager and the ups and downs of that relationship.

The real reason for this post is Don Cheadle. Once again Don Cheadle was unbelievable in this movie. He kept up this very deep voice and managed to be loud and vulgar throughout the whole movie and you felt like you were in the 1960s. Don Cheadle may be the best actor of our generation. One day he can play a British thief in Ocean's Eleven, a convict in Out of Sight, an African hotel owner in Hotel Rwanda, a DA in Crash, a narcotic's investigator in Traffic, and be in the best Superbowl commercials. Every movie he makes is important to see. They all have something important to say and have an entertaining way of saying it.

He has been nominated for Hotel Rwanda but did not win, somehow he lost to Jamie Foxx in Ray. I mean Jamie Foxx, come on. He has a rap album out there, and it sucks. Here's hoping Don Cheadle is nominated for Talk to Me and actually wins. I know he won't be, the Academy will probably nominate the Rat from Ratatouille.
