Still trying to collect my thoughts. I'm emotionally drained. #LesMis

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

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

The Thenardiers were hilarious. Predictable casting but it worked. Of course. :) #LesMis

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

I also thought the order of the songs was nice. The story flowed nicely. Again though, I'm not a purist. #LesMis

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.

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.

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

@DavidPoland How is it a "canard?" It's not untrue. Unless you mean something else/more catty?

David Poland ‏@DavidPoland (http://www.thehotblog.com)
@kristapley The falsehood is that it's singular in some way. It is not.

@DavidPoland It's rare enough to be mentioned, no?

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."

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
