. . . is only a presenter, and NOT a nominee, after his star turn as "Keith Gill" in DUMB MONEY. I think this awards "snub" can be attributed to P. D.'s lack of conditioning, and by inference, lukewarm commitment to this role. In Real Life, Keith ran a 4:03 mile. Having personally witnessed workouts by a 3:57 four-lap dude, as well as another racer who clocked a 1:50 half in high school, I was NOT impressed or convinced by DUMB MONEY's frequent--failed--attempts to portray Keith doing interval training on his local track. My 3:57 one-time teammate would push himself through three laps under three minutes during workouts. Then, after a 60-second break, he would see how much faster than one minute he could run a fourth lap. Mr. 1:50 would run sets of a dozen training quarters, during which a younger teammate would race him all-out the final 220. None of this comes through during DUMB MONEY's scenes at the track. This is where Paul falls far short of RAGING BULL.
