Forest who?
I couldn't believe that he would win an Oscar.
Must see this movie...I've just never thought of him as an academy award winning actor.
He must really be good in the last king of scotland

I like Forrest. I think I first saw him or first remember seeing him in the Crying Game. He's mostly done supporting role stuff and I can't think of any particular movie off hand after the Crying Game.

ARGH! I feel like I wasted my money. Just came back from watching the queen. And although I thought the actress was good and probably diserved that oscar - the movie was wack. I kept wanting it to finish already.
