MIKE FLEMING: Joe, I thought it a good idea to go back and compare our feelings, days after we live-blogged the Academy Awards for Deadline on Sunday.

Mass might be Jason Isaacs' most powerful role to date, as he expertly authors a father's grief alongside Ann Dowd, Martha Plimpton and Reed Birney. But Fran Krantz's film is just the latest in perhaps one of the world's most varied acting careers, that has covered the gamut of human—and otherworldly—experience. As…
