Also one of the few films I've seen where spontaneous applause broke out at the end.
I thought Anne Hathaway's rendition of I Dreamed A Dream was astonishing. Whether the judges think her supporting actress nomination is worthy of an Oscar on the strength of that, and the limited time she was actually on screen is another matter.
Nice piece of direction when the camera pulls upwards from the barricades to show the soldiers approaching from adjacent streets.
Sad pedant point - there's a quick shot of the Colonne de Juillet, but this wasn't built until 1849, when the action on the barricades was set in 1832.
Mind you, Russell Crowe was a good choice for Javert, but he can't sing for toffee.
