...bashers, these omissions are crucial--as if a biopic of Bill and Hillary Clinton had left out "I didn't inhale," Paula Jones and the cigar. But A Beautiful Mind--like the Iris Murdoch drama Iris, which has also been criticized for rouging the truth, and for which Judi Dench and Jim Broadbent are nominated this year--is biography simplified to a parable in which reason is lost and love sustained. Anyway, that's the movie that Howard made and that will probably be named Best Picture on Sunday. You see, now that it's been pilloried, it is officially...

A Golden Globe nomination and laurels from two critics' groups have given the Englishman a new sensation: "I seem to be entering into the strange world of awards...
...Dame Judi Dench walks among the crowd with a relaxed, regal air, like a benign dowager duchess bestowing air kisses and greetings to old friends. She'd appeared in skits the previous year, and so was enjoying her night...
