The best actor in "Glitter"?

Is it time for a reevaluation of the Mariah Carey movie bomb "Glitter"? Or, at least, an appreciation for clearly the best actor in the whole movie?
Just look at the look of contempt he is giving Mariah's mean boyfriend! This cat had more range than any other actor in the movie. (Well, maybe Ann Magnuson has more range, but she's clearly slumming in this film; I hope she got a good paycheck for it, because her attempts to bring more acting-wise should have been saved for a better film.) Plus, who else can play the same character at six months, and then 20-something? Cat is brilliant! (In truth, the part was played by two different cats; one to be cuddled in Young Mariah's arms when she goes to the orphanage, the other to be cuddled in Mariah's arms when she leaves the mean DJ/record producer Dice. If only she'd listened to the cat when she met this guy, because the cat's eyes were surely saying, "Seriously? This guy is named 'Dice?' And you think he might provide the makings of a good relationship?")

And can you believe, he DID NOT receive a well-deserved Best Supporting Actor nomination for his performance! Jim Broadbent STOLE the golden award that Cat should have gotten.
