SCREEN ACTORS GUILD Nominations and my prediction of Viggo for Best Actor coming into fruition


I've been predicting Viggo Mortensen getting a Best Actor Oscar nomination for quite some time now. Listen folks, there isn't a single person I know that hasn't liked the film and by person I mean normal, outside the industry folks. The film is well-loved and within the industry it is as well. "Captain Fantastic" is just one of those organic films that feels unforced in its sentiments and real. The french loved it when I was at Cannes. so much so that they gave Matt Ross a Best Director prize for the UN CERTAIN REGARD section, which the film was competing in.  Suffice to say that many of these supposed Oscar pundits are just damn fools that predict like robots instead of looking at the bigger picture. Viggo Mortensen is a threat and, it seems like, the film is a threat for a nomination as well.
