What was said about them, by kind

people (casting):
John Malkovich → In the Line of Fire.
Malkovich is the sun-dried tomato on the sandwich; in Empire it is his best use as an American Fagin.
“In the line of fire, is someone making you a ham and cheese sandwich and then like putting one sun-dried tomato on it”

people (performance):
The Sheltering Sky → John Malkovich.
Malkovich is tender in the Bertolucci film, which Bilge saw on the BBC.
“his character there is, I mean, tender isn't the word I would use, but, but, you know, you really feel for him, or at least I do.”

verdict (verdict):
John Malkovich → Dangerous Liaisons.
Malkovich going un-nominated for Dangerous Liaisons is the Oscar year's worst snub.
