A Coen Bros. film I’m actually interested in seeing? I must have come down with a deadly virus or something.

Inside Llewyn Davis

Stars: Oscar Isaac, John Goodman, Garrett Hedlund, F. Murray Abraham, Justin Timberlake, Carey Mulligan
Director: Joel Coen, Ethan Coen
Premise: From IMDb: “A week in the life of a young singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961.”
Oscar Chances: Good: It’s a competitive year, so the Coens’ ability to get acting nominations may be thwarted, though John Goodman is probably the best opportunity as Oscar Isaac has six or seven other very strong competitors in Best Actor. The film should easily nab a Best Picture nomination, as well as one for Best Original Screenplay, the creative categories are also a likely get.
