Unfortunately, the tiny, powerful star of "Beasts of the Southern Wild," Quvenzhané Wallis, was not nominated for a Golden Globe this morning.
My first encounter with the movie was by way of a trailer in a theater. Later, I reported on its existence to Clayton Cubitt, who was already aware of it. My comment was sneering. His was positive.
Recently trapped on a long flight, I watched the movie. It is terrific. Wallis is phenomenal.
I haven't seen a ton of Hurricane Katrina movies, but I'm going to go bold and declare this one the best.
