Richard Jenkins on his competition

What movie or performance moved you this year?

I’ve seen them all. Frank Langella, this guy is an amazing actor. An incredible performance. I’m going to go down the list because it’s true. Sean Penn, he just gets more interesting every time out. Brad Pitt, he really trusts himself now as an actor and it’s beautiful to watch him in this movie. And I tell you, Mickey Rourke, I was blubbering halfway through, that’s an extraordinary performance.
