It stars Clooney, David Strathairn, Jeff Daniels, Robert Downey Jr., Patricia Clarkson, Frank Langella, and Senator Joseph McCarthy.It is a dramatization of the conflict between Senator Joseph McCarthy and broadcaster Edward R. Murrow during the height of The '50s Red Scare in the United States. Notably, no actor actually portrays McCarthy, instead relying entirely on archival footage, giving it an edge of historical accuracy. The themes of the movie focus on the responsibility of television, not just the news, to go beyond just entertainment, and inform and voice dissent.The film was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture. | |

The Alcoholic | |
| Good Night, and Good Luck. / int_7eebe99c | comment |
The Alcoholic: Senator McCarthy is introduced at a speaking event, guzzling down a drink before he starts speaking. Truth in Television, as McCarthy was a notorious drinker, and it's clear in much of the footage that he's likely drunk or hung over. He died from cirrhosis of the liver in fact, three years after being censured. | |
