The Many Faces Of Michael Keaton
This weekend, Michael Keaton could be receiving an Academy Award for Best actor, for his role in Alejandro González Iñárritu's Birdman. Indeed, many people over here at ScreenAnarchy central think he's going to get the gold, and Birdman itself was on many of our Top-10 lists for 2014. In his review, Christopher Bourne called it "an incredibly impressive achievement in artistry and entertainment", and rightly predicted the current Oscar-buzz. Therefore, let's make this week's quiz about Michael Keaton!
To be honest, Michael Keaton holds a weird position in my pantheon of favorite actors, in that he is incredibly good in some roles, yet insufferably irritating in others. While I was looking for screenshots in the archives, the ones I found for one particular film made me physically ill from sheer annoyance.
But when used correctly, or linked with the right material, he's great!
Therefore, once again I'm going to use a gallery of fifteen close-ups of one of my (oftentimes) favorite thespians to make a quiz. Click through the images and guess which movies they're from! No competition, no prizes, just for fun, try to see how far you get without using IMDb.
And I'll post the answers next Thursday, or earlier if someone has all fifteen of them right.
