Are the Garys as excited for the prospect of "Paul Giamatti, frontrunner" as we are? For February's exception, we're looking back at Giamatti's work in the Canadian adaptation Barney's Version, a tale of an insufferable cad that made Giamatti a nomination dark horse after a surprise Globe win, but ended up with a Best Makeup nomination instead. Topics include the prevalence of old-age makeup nominees, performances besides Sideways that we would nominate Giamatti for, and what nominee we think kept Giamatti from a Sideways nomination.
