A brilliant film, one of his best and sadly, he did not win an Oscar. Honestly, I think the Academy Awards are worthless nowadays, I mean - those who win are not actually "the best", but mostly those who give the finest parties and gifts to the jury. The show itself is boring and even the singers can't sing.. the acts are dull as well. Peter O'Toole does not need a prize like this, he has our love and affection. And, I am sure his fans agree with me here - he is the winner, always!
i always thought that peter o'toole had a sex appeal and a sexiness about him. he was also the best person to play the older version of casanova because of that same sex appeal he has. it sounds strange because he is such an old man, but if i had to have an affair with an old man, it might be him.
O'Toole should've already won the Oscar for 1) Lawrence of Arabia, 2) The Ruling Class, and 3) The Lion in Winter. He's brilliant, and effortlessly carries any film he's in. That the "Academy" has not had the class to properly acknowledge him yet, invalidates it even more than it already has invalidated itself.
Thanks, Mr. Pogle... Both for watching AND commenting. I couldn't agree with you more. I don't know the details but I've heard he was offered an honorary a few years ago which he declined, citing more films to come. And, now, we have 'Venus'.
Yeah, Peter is on "The View" or one of the talk shows stating that he would rather get an Oscar for "a job of work". While the honorary Oscar wasn't really his cup of tea, then, it didn't show: His acceptance speech for it was eloquent, kind, and inspired, as one would expect. May he win the Oscar 2/25!
Peter O'Toole deserves an Oscar for his accomplished performance in "Venus." He is a golden talent, a silver-tongued treasure of a man, our lion STILL, now in his winter, but dazzling as ever. What a way with words has Peter O'Toole, who should have one for the acting gifts shown in "Lion in Winter" and "Lawrence of Arabia". Sure he's getting mileage out of interview taglines such as "sluttish young woman and dirty old man" but no matter--he is GOLD and may the Academy recognize him!
It seems like a complex movie.

"What do you do to her at your age?"
I can't believe he seriously asked him that.
I haven't seen the movie, but that guy seemes to know Peter O'Toole's character
so he has to know he's some leacherous old man.

@lolablack1072 I agree with you 100%. Peter O'Toole seems to have this sex appeal that transcends age.

@shaitarn yeah, that he is sexy, and if you ever saw him in one of his movies in his hey day, he is very handsome and still is.

It's so unfair he hasn't won an Oscar yet! But I think he has won in peoples' hearts and that's the most important! Talented and restless.....
