Moment 3: Canada gets a serious shout out
Awards season darling Paul Giamatti scooped up the best actor award, a major victory for Barney’s Version, which got snubbed in the best picture categories (we can only hope that Oscar takes a cue from Ricky Gervais’s snarky remarks and opts for Barney’s over celebrity shlockfest The Tourist). Either way, the win was a major boon for local producer Robert Lantos, who has been working on the screen adaptation of Mordecai Richler’s novel for 16 years. And speaking of boons, Giamatti made it clear how he felt about the great white north in his acceptance speech: “An incredible place in a great nation, Canada. I salute the great nation of Canada.” True, he was mostly talking about Montreal, but we’ll take what we can get.
