This 2000 Coen Brothers film is one of my favorite “Spider-Web” movies – one that ensnares me each time it’s on television. This time, I think, I’ll pay particular attention to Tim Blake Nelson as Delmar, one of the two other prisoners who escape jail with George Clooney’s Everett. (Seen here, center, with Clooney and John Turturro.) Why Nelson? Why not? Every actor’s commitment in this comedy is total – and hilarious.

Tim Blake Nelson completely overlooked for Best Supporting Oscar in a role that was probably the best character portrayal since Barry Fitzgerald in "The Quiet Man" (in which Fitzgerald was overlooked as well). Pay close attention to every nuance Delmar utters...(akin to picking up what Popeye the Sailor whispered under his breath in the old cartoons)....my favorites? "Oh George, not the livestock..." and. "..We .. thought ... you ... was .. a .. TAO-oud..."
