Albert Brooks: Oscar nom for role in Drive?

Film District

The Hollywood Reporter says "The comedy icon could snag a second Oscar nod -- 24 years after his first -- for playing a murderous mobster in the acclaimed drama starring Ryan Gosling." Of course we'd love that. As played by Mr. Brooks, Bernie Rose is a character of the scariest, filthiest, most startling kind. The dirt on Bernie's hands doesn't wash off - it stays on you like a burn.
