Yeah, I've been hearing about it too. I've always liked Fraser, but never thought of him as an Oscar candidate. Of course if you would have told me the guy who sang Getting Jiggy With It would win the Oscar moments after bitch slapping someone, I probably wouldn't have believed you.So there a huge amount of buzz about a movie called “the whale” starring, of all people, brandan fraser. At its premiere at a festival in Venice people were openly sobbing at the end and gave a 6 min standing ovation. They’re saying Fraser is a shoe in for an Oscar in portraying an obese man trying to reconnect with his daughter. Many of the critics there saying it’s the best movie they’ve ever seen. Sounds interesting.
