Wow...saw last night. Amazing film. Didn’t even know that was Viggo until the end.

If you were really into it...great YouTube of cast and director, producer, and others

I was captivated by him and Carmen Ejogo in the last True Detective. I had not seen either of them previously and look forward to seeing Green Book, probably when it's on my premium cable.

Is and who is supporting? I thought they both were great...
Until I saw A Star is Born. Now I think Bradley Cooper should have won. And Lady Gaga.

Certainly over who did win. Gaga for sure although I'm okay with Olivia Colman winning. Didn't think much of The Wife although I'm hoping for great things when Close plays Norma in Sunset Boulevard.

He was amazing. The film may have been flawed but his performance wasn't.
