Despite Woody Harrelson’s attempts to deflect the early Oscar Buzz for his portrayl of a “dirty cop” in Rampart, the media continue to praise his performance in the film. CNN International and The Globe and Mail are two of the latest media outlets to gush about Harrelson’s “Best Actor” chances at the 2012 Academy Awards.

Woody Harrelson could be a serious Oscar contender. Harrelson has shown his mettle before of course, in Milos Forman’s “The People vs Larry Flynt,” when he was nominated for Best Actor; in Oliver Stone’s “Natural Born Killers”; as well as in last year’s Iraq vet drama “The Messenger” (when he was nominated in the Supporting slot). But he’s never given such a commanding and well-rounded performance as he shows us in “Rampart,” a second collaboration with “Messenger” director Oren Moverman, a no-holds-barred portrait of a corrupt cop penned by James Ellroy. Harrelson doesn’t just dare to show us this dinosaur’s very dark side, he also dares us not to care. — CNN International

As a barely hinged, highly literate thug of a policeman in the pitch-black L.A. cop drama Rampart, Harrelson will beat the Oscar’s best-actor field like they were drums, … – The Globe and Mail

Can't wait to see this flick in the theater up on the HUGE screen with a big bucket of hot buttered popcorn.
