Okay - a couple of things here. One? Very surprised by the Artist, as it is a small cast, and particularly over Margin Call. However, including James Cromwell tickles me, because seeing him as the chauffeur in the Artist made me think of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuNzcbCrNHg. Also tickled by Matthew Lillard's inclusion because YAY MATTHEW LILLARD.

However, I feel like Midnight in Paris COMPLETELY MISSED THE POINT. The point being Corey Stoll as Hemmingway (not to mention Alison Pill as Zelda Fitzgerald). Seriously - Carla Bruni as Museum Guide? In that case, you should have Tom Hiddleston as F. Scott and Lea Seydoux as Gabrielle. But more importantly: Hemmingway. Jesus. I wonder if people voted for the cast without noticing the SAGs planned to leave him off?

So anyways, 4/5 for me. Other reactions to follow.
