Shrunken Griffiths role goes supporting in "The History Boys"
Tom O'Neil is claiming this as an exclusive, but the truth is most have been suspecting for some time that Richard Griffiths would go supporting for the reprisal of his Tony Award-winning role in "The History Boys." The role was shortened somewhat for the film version and so it was only a matter of time before something "official" happened. We've had Griffiths in our supporting charts for weeks now, and the only ambivalence about shoving him into the predicted five has been awaiting this very announcement. Well, we've got it now.

Well, O'Neill may be right, but just the other day, a story ran in the British press stating that some (reportedly cut) scenes involving Griffiths have actually been reinstored - as a direct consequence of the Oscar buzz.

With a Best Actor-season like this year, he might actually stand a decent chance for a leading nomination, so why not go for it?
This being Daily Mail, it could be bollocks though.
