I very much liked GNGL. Capote is an extraordinary movie that really resonates with me because it raises so many issues about writing itself, particularly about a writer's troubled relationship to his/her subject: is that relationship about adoration or exploitation? I think you'd find the movie fascinating not only about writing but about fannishness and fame. And PSH is brilliant in it.
That said, of course I would have been delighted too if Heath Ledger had won, or Joachim Phoenix -- an embarrassment of riches in Best Actor this year.
Just a quick comment on something you said up-thread --
It's like comparing Casablanca to Love, Actually--one's about one relationship, the other's about how the relationships connect to each other.
This is a brilliant analogy in so many ways. My Inner Rhetorician is all agog. :D
