Hoffman wins!

And yes, the announcer has just informed us he's a Method actor.

If he were a serious Method guy, he would give the acceptance speech in the voice.

As Mrs. Fando pointed out, does anyone write speeches down anymore, or is that completely ego-centric these days? I mean, you're nominated...take a chance!

Hoffman seems like a nice bloke though. A consistently good actor in both big and small parts.

Sorry, that's all. I don't want to use up my "nice" quotient before the Best Actress category.
