Reese deserved the Oscar - she channeled June Carter Cash. Joaquin didn't quite channel Johnny, but he got close. I saw “Walk the Line” and it was, in my opinion, an outstanding film.

They did a good one on Johnny Cash in 2005, "Walk the Line" with Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. She won the Oscar for Best Actress. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walk_the_Line Someone should definitely do a film on Hank Williams. Amazing no one's thought of it to date... Yep.

I don't think anyone has done a movie about Hank's life -- correct me if I am wrong -- and that's something I would really like to see. His grandson -- who looks like his double -- could play the title role maybe with Morgan Freeman as the old blues musician who taught him to play guitar.
