Celebrating the Oscars: My Favorite Oscar Moments - 2005

Philip Seymour Hoffman's death hit me so hard. When I was really starting to discover film, he was at his peak. His Lester Bangs in Almost Famous is still one of my favorite film characters, and delivers my favorite movie quote. He finally got his recognition for his stunning transformation into Truman Capote in Bennett Miller's fantastic Capote. He is a talent that was taken away from us way too soon, but he left an endearing legacy of incredible films.
