Funny that the guy who tries to make his living beating other guys senseless is just about the least-violent, quietest soul in the story. And not coincidentally,
Mark Wahlberg, who plays the gentle boxer, is one of the few members of the cast who doesn't throw a dramatic rabbit punch at some point.
But Oscar® loves big, and
Christian Bale is a lock for a nomination (though whether lead or supporting is a fair question), and
Melissa Leo has a shot as well. Not that they haven't earned it, but the best stuff happening on the screen is the least showy, and Wahlberg has become a life master at that.
