The only game you know

Without a doubt the best actor award needs to be put in the oddly endearing hands of Kurt Russel for his dexterous take on Stuntman Mike in Death Proof, Quentin Tarantino's overlooked and profoundly unique and fetching ode to all the movies I saw at the Shaker Theater in the 70's. He was so good, and awful that he made complex look easy which makes me happy for he and Goldie.
There is much more to the movie, lots of good acting, action dialog and music, it's the Big Kahuna of tributes to an era that was kind of ugly yet somewhat cool at the same time. And, it comes with the twist of a modern sensibility and witty repartee. It was cheeky in that it changed the dynamic of the type of conversations and situations that generally have been populated with men, and had them take place with women using dialog and bellicose execution with a satisfying crunch.
