      yes, but I think, he has a good chance of being nominated again[for the Oscar] and winning this time. for the role, and, because "he's due". it works out that way, often, like it or not.

      @@InfiniteElectrophone I worked at the front desk at a decent, corporate hotel in San Francisco around '99 and actually checked Dafoe into the hotel (I was already a big fan, but maintained my composure though I was admittedly very impressed by him) ...
      He arrived with hair and departed a week later bald (Shadow of the Vampire, no doubt). My experience with Dafoe and all reports from coworkers were very positive. He seems like he appears in this interview: thoughtful, considerate, and solid. And for me, I think he's an actor whose work never disappoints, and The Florida Project is one of my most recent, favorite films.
