@AwardsCircuit Re: Les Miz, how was "Bring Him Home"? On a scale of 1 to 10? Also, did the 'Barricade Boys' make any impression?

Still trying to collect my thoughts. I'm emotionally drained. #LesMis
https://twitter.com/Corellianjedi2/status/272200909386309634 elisa g schneider @Corellianjedi2
Anne Hathaway's "I Dreamed A Dream" was breathtaking; conveyed such emotion. There aren't enough words to describe her performance. #LesMis
https://twitter.com/Corellianjedi2/status/272216074685132800 elisa g schneider @Corellianjedi2
Come To Me. Oh man. What a brilliant scene between Hathaway's Fantine and Jackman's Valjean. Shattering. #LesMis
https://twitter.com/Corellianjedi2/status/272363081240301569 elisa g schneider @Corellianjedi2
Eddie Redmayne's voice. To die for, IMO. Sing to me please.
https://twitter.com/Corellianjedi2/status/272218526406807553 elisa g schneider @Corellianjedi2
Gavroche stole the show. So adorable. And heartbreaking.
https://twitter.com/Corellianjedi2/status/272216480836374529 elisa g schneider @Corellianjedi2
Amanda Seyfriend was so great as Cosette. Her voice was sweet and well matched with Redmayne's. #LesMis

One of the first films in a while that I haven't felt like I was watching Hugh Jackman. I was watching Jean Valjean. Incredible. #LesMis
https://twitter.com/Corellianjedi2/status/272216263726608384 elisa g schneider @Corellianjedi2
Eddie Redmayne is amazing. I knew this before but now I'm thoroughly convinced he's the future of film. His performance was perfect. #LesMis
https://twitter.com/Corellianjedi2/status/272216073875619840 elisa g schneider @Corellianjedi2
I have to go back to Mr. Jackman. He was...brilliant. His performance was the best I've seen from him since Erskineville Kings.
https://twitter.com/Corellianjedi2/status/272216073598808066 elisa g schneider @Corellianjedi2
I REALLY enjoyed Russell Crowe's performance. Especially his soliloquy at the end. Fantastically shot and played. #LesMis
https://twitter.com/Corellianjedi2/status/272216073414266880 elisa g schneider @Corellianjedi2
The Thenardiers were hilarious. Predictable casting but it worked. Of course. :) #LesMis
https://twitter.com/Corellianjedi2/status/272217421853626371 elisa g schneider @Corellianjedi2
Young Cosette was too adorable. What a darling and an amazing singer! Can't wait to see more of her! #LesMis
https://twitter.com/Corellianjedi2/status/272216073003233280 elisa g schneider @Corellianjedi2
I also thought the order of the songs was nice. The story flowed nicely. Again though, I'm not a purist. #LesMis
https://twitter.com/Corellianjedi2/status/272362393592549377 elisa g schneider @Corellianjedi2
Aaron Tveit shined in #LesMis! Of course, I wish we got more of him but what we saw was him at his best! That voice!!!

@broadwaybabyto I went to a screening for the guilds! It's was AMAZING. And that doesn't doesn't even do it justice. Epic. Beyond epic.
https://twitter.com/Corellianjedi2/status/272233303178878977 elisa g schneider @Corellianjedi2
@broadwaybabyto My favourite...? To chose just one...Either Annie singing I Dreamed A Dream (heartbreaking. Shattered), One Day More, ending
https://twitter.com/Corellianjedi2/status/272235123586502656 elisa g schneider @Corellianjedi2
@broadwaybabyto Whole audience clapped/cheered after many numbers. Most noticeably- Valjean's first bit, I Dreamed, Do You hear, One Day,
https://twitter.com/Corellianjedi2/status/272234844015185920 elisa g schneider @Corellianjedi2
And in a surprise, mostly to me, #LesMis has surpassed #SKYFALL as my favourite film of the year.

Was in the 1st audience to see #Les Mis at Lincoln Center last night! Dir. Tom Hooper there w/cast. People cheering,crying. Best Film 2012

Rapturous reactions to Les Mis & Zero Dark Thirty make Anne Thompson's trashtalking of my Oscar picks three weeks ago fun to read again. :)

@HitFixGregory @kristapley I'd love to agree but I fear Hopkins-Hawkes-DDL-Denzel-Phoenix might be a tough barricade to break through
https://twitter.com/nathanielr/status/272479969039491073 Nathaniel Rogers @nathanielr (The Film Experience)
(cont)... not that Hugh Jackman isn't better than most of them #BestActor

I mean I *personally* prefer Lincoln & Les Miz to Argo but I don't vote on the Oscars. I think it's still very much in the hunt.

I hope Les Miserables is a glorious film (will see it on Monday), but that canard about live singing is weak. Not new at all
https://twitter.com/DavidPoland/status/272205782530023425 Kristopher Tapley @kristapley (HitFix)
@DavidPoland How is it a "canard?" It's not untrue. Unless you mean something else/more catty?
https://twitter.com/kristapley/status/272386439134707713 David Poland @DavidPoland (

@kristapley The falsehood is that it's singular in some way. It is not.
https://twitter.com/DavidPoland/status/272451263629762560 Kristopher Tapley @kristapley (HitFix)
@DavidPoland It's rare enough to be mentioned, no?
https://twitter.com/kristapley/status/272455311967805442 Kristopher Tapley @kristapley (HitFix)
Looks like Les Mis played as well in LA as it did in NY. Game over? Sony, WB and TWC: "Not so fast."
https://twitter.com/kristapley/status/272476681288159232 gregoryellwood @HitFixGregory (HitFix)
Eddie Redmayne could def snag a best supporting actor nod. Hugh Jackman likely a lock for a best actor nod now. #LesMiserables
