Probably I'll nominate him for all three films and then say his body of work that year was predominately known for drama and put him there. Or nominate him in more than one category. Or else abandon the drama/comedy split altogether.<br /><br />One thing's for sure -- Laughton had a fabulous year in 1935. <i>Mutiny on the Bounty</i> and <i>Ruggles of Red Gap</i> are both brilliant performances, yet are so different that Katie didn't realize at first that it was Charles Laughton she was watching. About ten minutes in, she said, "I thought you said Charles Laughton was in this." And I said, "Yeah, that's him right there." "<i>That's</i> Charles Laughton?!" Great movie, great performance.<br /><br />I would really like to write about both <i>Mutiny on the Bounty</i> and <i>Ruggles of Red Gap</i> and compare and contrast the two performances. Thus, the likelihood of lumping him into one side or the other. For me, it's all about the essay ...<br /><br />What we really need are alternate Katie awards!Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-20300545635869874832010-10-04T17:41:21.523-04:002010-10-04T17:41:21.523-04:00One or the other?
