It’s hard not to see Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln as the Oscar film that didn’t. The movie was nominated for twelve academy awards, but it only went home with two (though one was for Daniel Day-Lewis’ performance in the titular role). It was trumped by Argo, and though comparing the two is sort of like equating apples and turnips, Lincoln is the better film, and perhaps was underrated for being another in a long line of great Spielberg film. Sally Field, Tommy Lee Jones, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and a ton of great character actors co-star in this story of the passage of the 13th amendment. Our review of the Blu-ray follows after the jump. As the film starts, Lincoln (Day-Lewis) is in turmoil. The Civil War is almost over, the North has won, but he knows that if he takes the South back without banning slavery, the whole war might have been for naught.
