In the scene that could cinch his Oscar nomination, he gets a long close-up as Randy pours out his clumsy love for his daughter. The speech is boilerplate sentiment, which the actor - who says he reworked it to reflect his own life - elevates to a passion as sweet as it is forlorn...
...Schmidt, the international climate policy director for the Natural Resources Defense Council. That's key, given the fact that developing countries - a category that encompasses nations as different as massive, polluting China and tiny Tuvalu, soon to be swallowed up by rising sea levels - will be responsible for the bulk of future carbon emissions.
