True Grit is shaping up to be a modern classic in the western genre with it’s cast members getting rave reviews. Whilst it was left off the list of Golden Globe noms, newcomer Hailee Steinfeld got a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination which is pretty amazing for her first performance, as did Oscar winner Jeff Bridges for his turn as the one-eyed lawman Rooster Cogburn.
The film looks to have all the energy and intricate design that make the Coen Brothers films engaging and at times nerve-wracking. Instead of pandering to the highs and lows of blockbuster fodder, their movies are grounded in a reality that’s true to the characters and central themes.
Based on Charles Portis’ novel, the film stars Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, Barry Pepper and newcomer Hailee Steinfeld.
Winners of the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will be announced during the live broadcast on TNT and TBS on Sunday, January 30 2011 at 8 p.m. ET.
