Not bad. Glad to seeAlmost Famous nominated for Best Picture. I'd say Willem Dafoe deserved at least a Best Supporting Actor nomination, but oh well...

No. I found it kind of pointless, I'd rather just see Nosferatu.

And even if you didn't like it, you've got to admit that Willem Dafoe was excellent (especially if you've seen Nosferatu).
