FYC: Josh Brolin in W.
In a brave performance, Josh Brolin went beyond an easy comical imitation to transform the much maligned U.S. President George W. Bush into a terribly flawed individual that you could not only sympathise with but at times be seduced and won over by his undeniable charm, where you are begging him to succeed and impress his father. For a Brit living outside of the U.K, the question of doubt as to how the most unlikely President in the country's history could end up in the Whitehouse and survive for a second term was answered by two hours of Josh Brolin.
