— I know the folly of questioning other people’s expertise, let alone expecting them to share or reflect my own unimpeachable taste. Finding them took a bit more strain this year, but if anything that makes them all the more worth celebrating. It would have been even more marvelous had it also earned nominations for supporting actor (Song Kang Ho), supporting actress (Cho Yeo Jeong) and cinematography (Hong Kyung Pyo), but you can’t have everything. In a field this crowded, a first-ever nomination for Banderas was far from assured, even after he handily won best actor from the New York Film Critics Circle, the Los Angeles Film Critics Assn. and the National Society of Film Critics.
