Put that pitchfork down!)<BR/><BR/>With everyone talking about how "overdue" Kate Winslet and Meryl Streep are, my dream scenario would be for Leo to take the Oscar as a makeup award for not ever claiming so much as a nomination anywhere for five seasons of kickass work in "Homicide: Life on the Street."

However I thought Misty Upham has not matched Leo, so their scenes together were a bit lackluster.Murtadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708403648510141998noreply@blogger.com
