Temple Grandin is an amazing film. It’s a shame that it was a TV movie and wasn’t eligible for any oscars. I think Claire Danes could have been a best actress contender for that performance. It’s much better than her performance on Homeland where she just does “crazy eyes” all the time. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
