Jeff Bridges Mini Filmfest on Monday

I think on Monday when we get our first cold day of the season I’ll settle in and have a little Jeff Bridges film festival . Some hot coffee, a couple of hot teas and some stew or chili would be nice. In my older age…I’ve become quite the hot tea sipper in the winter months..

Jeff Brdiges and Al Pacino have always been my two favorite actors. Third perhaps a character guy like Bobby Duvall who was actually in a supporting role in Crazy Heart.

With Jeff Bridges there is such an inherit ease in the manner in which he becomes his on screen character.

My favorite Jeff Bridges movie by far was/is The Fabulous Baker Boys. From my view …that was the slam dunk Oscar he should have won before winning for Crazy Heart.

But that’s the way the Oscars work–like in sports you get makeup calls here and there.

Even this speech when he won for Crazy Heart is the most at ease and gracious winning speech I can remember at the Oscars. He didn’t ramble. He didn’t take on a political cause. He just basically thanked everyone who helped him get to this place where he was at the top of his very competitive craft.
