You DO need to see it....! One of the best movies I've seen in a VERY LONG time!

Rockwell always plays the most interesting, cool and memorable characters. The way way back is a great film for those of you who haven’t seen it.

Such a wonderful film. Fun but not easy and often uncomfortable, in a righteous way. Gives you something to think about. I don't think this film dispenses redemption to any of its characters. But it gives hope, plenty of hope. That's how I felt at least.

I feel like Sam Rockwell is a sleeper hit of an actor. Like he’s always been amazing, but we never gave him the attention he deserved. And he just kept making good things until no one could ignore him.

Loved him in The Green Mile.

His performance in The Green Mile made me realize he was already a great actor. Can't wait to see Vice.

He has the same laugh in The Green Mile ;)

One of the more underrated actors. I never understood why.

I think that guy is loved by literally everyone.

It's funny to see him in an interview. Due to the movies I have seen I he was always some deranged weirdo for me. But he's such a bro. What a likeable guy!

The guy looks like a meatball at the end of the movie. Would people have been more comfortable with the character dying slowly and in pain instead of learning the error of his ways and trying to do some good?

Him getting hurt doesn't reedem him. It's not about the punishment, the problem is he hasn't shown anything that suggests he's been redeemed. He never admitted to anything or took responsibility for what he did, he just tried to play a detective, that's it. At the end he even goes out to murder a man he thinks may or may not be a rapist with no evidence whatsoever. People like you is what some are complaining about, hes a torturing, racist, attempted murderer who abused his power. After reading that letter he unsuccessfully tried to help find a rapist murderer and then went out to kill someone that thought could maybe be a criminal. The movie framing that as redemption is a problem

@Dawid-wc8sb

@@Nogli I disagree, I think him and the protagonist going out together implies otherwise. I think it's clear that he supposed to be a good guy by the end, even if that's not the intention I think what is shown on the screen implies that. Most people seem to think of his as redeemed which shows that if your interpretation is true the film did a poor job explaining it.

just watched this film again about a week ago. what a masterpiece on every level.

I first saw him as Guy Fleegman in Galaxy Quest -- he's brilliant as the sort of guy who isn't quite sure of his spot on the food chain. Which is a bit like his role in Three Billboards.

Couldn’t go wrong with Woody or Sam for the Oscar in Three Billboards... they both gave outstanding performances. They are both the kind of guys that if the script and director are at that high level, they are going to deliver.

From Dickhead to Dickson, a perfect portrayal. So very deserved. Congrats and hats off, Mr. Rockwell!!!

He's so handsome 😍

He played a hated guy who’s very likeable. 😂😂

I haven't seen this movie yet but he gave a brilliant performance in Moon. Awesome actor!

This. Don't we watch hundreds of movies in which the heroes kill and murder people? Aren't they bad people too? But bring racism into it and a person is somehow irredeemable. BS? Rockwell's character goes through quite a change in the movie and is clearly in the process of growing up and wising up. It doesn't excuse the things he's done, but it shouldn't condemn him for life either.

One of the best actors alive right now.

Three Billboards DOES have hilarious moments well done in good taste. Excellent film, acting, and direction. So happy both of them receiving the Oscar.

Did anyone do a double take when they thought Stephen said, “you were nominated for best porny actor”? The funniest part for me was looking at Sam right after that and saying to myself, “yeah he does kinda have a Leisure Suit Larry vibe tonight...”

What a superb actor - fantastic range, comedy timing. They always say that if you can do funny, then you can do anything. Bravo sir

i love how colbert doesn't freak out by his guests cursing like on jimmy fallon or other late night talk shows and he'll even swear himself at times like in this clip unapologetically and will carry on the interview without wasting unnecessary airtime

It's a crime that he hasn't been nominated for an Oscar before this. He's great in everything he does and he's had at least a half dozen roles that were right for the awards crowd, not to mention all of his brilliant comedy that they would never recognize, but should.

Love him in The Way Way Back, massively underrated movie and great performance from Sam.

Sam should have won an Oscar for "Moon."

Great movie and great performance! One of the greatest actors our there gets finally the recognition he deserves!

Stephen sounds a little tipsy at the end- "It's a beautiful move me". Lol.

My friends gonna love this!” (I don’t have friends)

When I was a kid, after seeing him in the Green Mile made me want to know this guy very well. Cuz he was and still is an amazing artist. To be able portray characters like he did, takes so much. Exceptional actor.

He fits in every genre perfectly. I love his comedy also.

I can’t believe this guy was trapped in the basement for 5 days without any beer.

does anybody know the title of the song at the end? I like the kick :D

He is becoming one of my favorite actors. "Three Billboards" was stunningly great. If you haven't seen "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" yet...you're welcome.

Why would you not make him dance... MAKE HIM! FUCKING START DANCING SAM ROCKWELL!!!

Love this guy! So entertaining.

Three Billboards was such a beautiful movie. Rockwell and McDormand each deserve an oscar

…so if people can’t be redeemed because they change then what’s the point?

gotta love the rockwell.. moon is one of my favorite movies.

Sam is one of the most under rated actors. he's been amazing in everything I've seen him in. he totally rocks this movie.

"7 Psychopaths." A bunch of my fave actors (Walken, Rockwell, Harrelson) in the darkest comedy EVER. If you haven't seen it - SEE IT!

when I see this guy, I just think about how good he can James Brown shuffle... this dude can move.

Martin McDonagh really is a genius. So true :)

Well now I really wanna see 21 jump street with Colbert on it 🤔

It's in theaters now? Didn't it come out 4 months ago?

Wow Colbert. You didn’t go easy on spoilers.

I love Sam. I wish this guy would let him talk though!

He is right about anti-heroes in the movie. I loved it overall, but i didnt know at times if McDormand was meant to be the protagonist or not.

he did this 'laugh'...somewhere at the beginning of this sit down....and it Immediately sounded like, and reminded me....of the Green Mile moment in the cage, when he ( 'wild bill) spits all that 'moon pie' all over David Morse' face! ha ha!>....would have been hilarious to make an "Edit' here, with the amazing Rockwell....cutting in all his funniest scenes, gag's, and lines...playing off Steven...and ending up with Colbert's face...all covered in moon pie slime! Lol!..... Can anyone else visualize this?.... come on!...that would be awesome!

Damn, Sam is lookin' gooooooooooood. From the hair, the face, look at the build, those legs, and of course his socks! Yummmm. BTW, those awards are justified.

He's such an amazing actor I can't believe this is his first Oscar nomination, He should have definitely got one for Moon.

He's one of my favorite actors and 'Better Living Through Chemistry' is one of my favorite movies
