The film received five BAFTA nominations and six Academy Award nominations, including the Best Picture nomination in 2012. He also played Peter Guillam, one of the pivotal roles in Tomas Alfredson's Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (2011), which was nominated for three Academy Awards and 11 BAFTA Awards.

Jeffrey Nero "Jeff" Hardy (born August 31, 1977) is an American professional wrestler, painter, poet, singer-songwriter and musician who is currently signed to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). He is also known for his stint with the World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (WWE).
Before gaining prominence in WWE, Hardy performed for the Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts (OMEGA), a promotion he ran with his brother Matt. After being signed by WWE, the brothers worked as jobbers, before gaining notoriety in the tag team division, partly due to their participation in Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches. With the addition of Lita, the team became known as Team Xtreme and continued to rise in popularity. As a tag team wrestler, Hardy is a six-time World Tag Team Champion and a one-time WCW Tag Team Champion. Noted for his seemingly fearless airborne moves, Hardy's offensive toolbox more resembles a stunt man's than a pro wrestler's.
Black cloud on the sun, I turned my collar up
And walked from your door up to the county road
Oh yeah, what luck, the timings been rough on us
Right then, oh boy, we hit the turning point
Three or four years or more my life was on the floor
Blind faith, hangin' in hungry and tired of it
Oh yeah, better luck, it takin' over us
But right now, oh boy, we've hit the turning point
She's had to follow me up and down these empty streets
Whiskey on her breath tryin' to give the world a test
Oh yeah, better luck, it takin' over us
Right now, oh boy, we've hit the turning point
Yeah right now, oh boy, we've hit the turning point
Yeah right now, oh boy, we've hit the turning point
Getting on me
For the things that I've done
But when my backs against the wall
You're the one who turns and runs
You keep talking
When we're not there
But we're keeping up
Becoming aware
Words around
Your shit is out
People finally realize
Inch by inch it's rising
A flame you can't control
You say you're trying to prove them wrong
But you're just deepening the hole
The attention they strive for
You supply, give them publicity
While their victims die
Your attention is feeding the fire
The public's eye, racist desire
Hate on TV, result: stupidity
Yes some ignore, but others agree
The things I see they scare me
Yet I must face reality
I've kept my open eyes and a clear mind
But I'm still afraid of what I might find
In myself
Things are getting fucked up
Still it's hard to close my eyes
I'm still looking for something solid
Behind all your fucking lies
It's time to face up
To what stands in your way
Why can't you face up
And finally have your say
Intimidated
Now I can't see why
I've spoken out, faced up
And I know I've tried
It's time for you
To face up
To the truth
I see things in people
That you're too blind to see
A life filled with fucking hate
Is not the life for me
And I know you have a right to speak
But that right is also mine
So when you've pushed your values on me
You've put one foot over the line
You talk about fighting
But what did it bring
Your so called justice
Has not proved a fucking thing
And where do you get the idea
That one race is supreme
Equality between us all
Is what I fucking dream
I know my dream seems hopeless
But take a look at yours
Spent your life hating and fighting
But you never knew what for
So when you hit the floor
Don't look to me for help
It's your responsibility
You brought it on yourself
I try to turn my back
And ignore the things you say
But that's not solving anything man
There must be a better way
You're voicing your threats
But I'm not afraid
Because of the idle
Threats that you've made
I've seen your kind before
Can't take it no more
You're headed for a fall
And I don't care at all
You mess with your friends
At all the fucking shows
We're gonna take you down
Saying goodbye to a false friend isn't hard to do
Especially after the pain you put me through
I thought I understood you but I only saw the surface
Now the plans we made no longer have a purpose
Now I see trust takes time and can be abused
One again I see it's me who's going to lose
When will it be my turn to win
Every time I try I end up failing, failing again
I've got to face what I'm leaving behind
Again
We walk away from where we once stood
We knew the love we shared couldn't last
Separation is always understood
To each our life
Responsibilities
After the hard times we've been through together
It's so funny that separation has brought us
To our knees
We embrace
Smile and walk away
I can't turn back
I only wish to stay
I'll miss you
When you're gone
I can't help but think about you
But life goes on
Why must we leave
Why can't I stay
Next time we talk down this beaten path
The effort I give
just to live day by day
I'm so sick of insecurities
I never know what I want to say
Every word spoken in fear
every time your crew is near
I've tried so hard to break my chains
They'll never keep me down
but always cause me pain
The pain!
Everything I say
is taken the wrong way
I'm gonna say what I want
and shout it out loud
the statements I make are not to please the crowd
It's time we break free
Since I was young I remember having you there
To help me along
I never knew how much I relied on you
Until you were gone
Now I'm looking for you
To reach out too
Time passed
I feel your guidance slipping away
Now when I need you most
I can't find you to say
I'm sorry for expecting you there
Every step of the way
I'm sorry
But I had to walk on my own anyway
Since then I've learned to become my own guiding light
Friendship growing stronger
As the days pass by
I promise to give it my best
If you just try
I know this can work
It will take some time
I'll never take away
What we have inside
I'll turn to you
And you'll be there
Because I still need you
If you still care
And in the end
I'll know I can count on you
No matter what happens
I'll still be true
I'll be true
We may disagree
And we may fight
But I'll admit it
If I'm not right
Different minds
One common goal
It's you I'll remember when I grow old
If I turn around and you're not there
I think back on the moments we have shared
Stealing, lying, how does it feel
What you tried to hide
What you tried to conceal
So you give back what you tried to hide
Don't tell me to look on the positive side
You may have gained something material
But you lost my respect
No matter how hard you try
That's something you'll never collect
Ask me why I ignore you
When I can't look you in the eyes
It's only when the damage is done
That you realize what you did was wrong
And I just can't put it aside
I thought we were on the same level
But I see you've always lied
Behold!
I'm yesterday
I'm today
I'm brother of tomorrow
So priest said and
So I'm saying now but
Can you hear the demons?
They're awaiting for you
Who rules your innerspace?
Who commands your soul?
Little sins, little wickedness
Lead us to our private hell
And every day, and every night
We face the truth of ourselves
The linear evolution of our greeds
Desires running like the wild
Deprivation of the 10th commandments
Human laws versus nature
Kindness versus instincts
Swornenemies
This eternal war
Has winner for the beginning
So supplant the Christ
And bring back the true law
For every aspect of your life
This change will become
All I wanna do
Is do me
Feel me? Come on
Next time y'all niggas try to compare me
Remember I just turned 18
That means I got 7 years to catch up
So what's up?
Next time y'all underestimate me (Don't do that)
Recognize I just turned 18
That means i got 7 years to catch up
So what's up?
I brush the dirt off my shoulder
Push through the city in an all pearl rover
One day I wanna be just like my nigga Hova
But they don't wanna let me
Haters they been hatin
Sayin what I can't be
But i'mma stay up on they bumper
Keeping the radios jumpin all summer
Havin your girl screamin just to take a picture
I'm settin up my features
My bank account's reachin
And everybody's peeking
Next time y'all try to compare me
Rememeber I just 18
That means I got 7 years to catch up
So what's up?
Next time ya'll underestimate me (Don't wanna that)
Recognize I just turned 18
That means I got 7 years to catch up
So what's up?
This is a funny situation
These guys I grew up havin crazy admiration for
Got the feelin that I'm tryna replace them
That ain't the case
I'm in a whole 'nother place
Tryna build my estate
I gotta keep my Nikes nice and clean
Keep the women up to 25 chasin me
Got Mr. Davis pushin buttons in the Captains seat
That means more dough before I'm too old
And basically before
Next time y'all try to compare me
Remember I just turned 18
That means I got 7 years to catch up
So what's up?
Next time y'all underestimate me (Don't do that)
Recognize I just turned 18

Don't let 'em get you heated homie
Just only go harder
Let 'em underestimate you like you Antonio Tarver
Plus the dudes that be hatin is as old as your father
You got plenty time you gone get plenty shine
I don't pay 'em any mind
They been tryna critcize
But you can't live your life through another nigga's eyes
I'm the best and you young boys know so
I'mma fall back and let my young boy blow
Next time y'all try to compare me
Remember I just turned 18
That means I got 7 years to catch up
So what's up?
Next time ya'll underestimate me (don't do that)
Recognize I just turned 18
That means I got 7 years to catch up
So what's up?
Martha Holmes
See the little brown girl
She's as old as me
She looks just like chocolate
Oh mummy can't you see
We are both in first grade
She sits next to me
I took care of her mum
When she skinned her knee
She sang a song so pretty
On the Jungle Jim
When Jimmy tried to hurt her
I punched him in the chin
Mom can she come over
To play dolls with me
We could have such fun mum
Oh mum what'd you say
Why noy oh why not
Oh I see
When it started
It was new and carefree
But something felt weird
How real could this be
The months passed and the feelings grew
I began to realize you weren't true
It took so long
Now I can see
You took what we once had
And used it against me
Now the curtain falls
And the play a done
The battle is over
But who has won?
Now I'm careful
When I make friends
and your betrayal
Will effect me
Paranoia - makes yourself feel good
Indecision - striking and wrecking
You're a sucker to the whole world
And its' tearing you down
What do you do when it twists around
What do you do, you never had a chance
Killed yourself and your fighting chance
Just wasting time tying your mind
Anxiety asking, tension telling
What you never want to know
So you quit while you're ahead
To save yourself, can't you see farther than that?
You say it's hard for you to change
They say it's always darkest
Before the dawn
It may look bad now
But I'm holding on
To what I have
And what I've earned
I refuse to let that burn
In front of my eyes
I know you think I'm not old enough
To see the wrong and right
Maybe so but I won't throw it all away
Until I gain some insight
I've stumbled and fallen down before
Again I feel myself falling
Please stop I've had enough
From damnation to salvation, i close my eyes for
meditation
The closure of my life, behind the starry eye
Inside the heart of stone, never ending pain in the
thorns of rose
Let me fly back to the place, they need me most, this
will save
Please look inside
The face is painted
No one loves you, no one cares
Take a bite of life
Lose the thought to die
One will love you, one will care
Behind new morning sun, there is land good for long run
Let me show you the way, to the land of undead joy
Sorrow senses will turn on, live a mystic life of Jo SL
To bleed is to feel alive and to heal is to gain some
relief
Welcome this turning point of your life
I watched the foundation burn and still I stayed
I watched the torch you held flicker and fade
betrayed myself for holding out so tight
now sadness sickens my hear and confusion blinds my sight
alone I feel so alone
maybe I'll turn this feeling into a wall of stone
and build it big and strong
I'll build it around my heart and let no one but you tear it apart
so here's your invitation
I hope you will accept
remember the days in the sun and promises kept
Why must it be this way?
The trust we built has faded grey
When will this all be gone
You left me all alone, you left me holding on
today passed so long ago
you left me bruised and broken
I had no chance to grow
I never thought it would come to this
But there's so much more bad than the good times I'll miss
I'm not sorry it turned out this way
because the only way you acted only left me saying "life goes on"
it means nothing now
because it worked out once but I'm wondering how
and how can you lie when you know it's true
I'll never forget what you broke in two
a lifeline worn from the love we shared
but trying to hold didn't have a prayer
and it crushes down, it crushes down on me
what you offered wasn't love just misery
I look around my room and I think of you
and I hope you never know what you put me through
all those letters you wrote, those words burn in my head
lies written in stone
You were seen runnin' round with him again, oh yeah
But I knew when you said you were through with him, you
still care
(ahhh)Oh just as I thought you were mine
(ahhh)He gave you that same golden line
And while you runnin' round,
I'm gonna be left, left with a broken heart
(left with a broken heart)
Still I guess this is where you wanna stay, oh yeah
But I much rather have you here with me, oh yeah
girl, don't you know?
(ahhh)Oh why didn't you let me know?
(ahhh)Before I let myself go
Coz while you runnin' round
I'm gonna be left, left with a broken heart
(Left with a broken heart)
Left with a broken heart
Left.
I knew that he was taking you away
By the way, he was looking at you that day
So I guess I'll have to find another love, oh yeah
No, no, no, no
Darling, darling, darling
Still someday you wanna come back to me
But in someone else's arms I'm gonna be
And while I'm runnin' round
you're gonna be left, left with a broken heart
(left with a broken heart)
just like you did to me
(left with a broken heart)
you're gonna be standing all alone, all by yourself
(left with a broken heart)
I'm tryin' to tell you girl...
(left with a broken heart)
All the questions I have asked myself
And all the answers I have searched for
Become harder to reach
They always seem further than before
It seems that all my effort is my
Enemy when all I work
For seems to slip away
But I can't just sit back and watch
Watch while life passes me by
A drop in the bucket
Is what my efforts seem to be
I wish this chain of failure
Would just set me free
I'm so scared but there's nowhere
To run and hide
I won't give up I won't give in
This time it's a matter of pride
There's a place that I know
Somewhere I go to find
Shelter from this world but
I'll never show you that place
Stop making promises
You know you can't keep
I refuse to follow
Like all your other sheep
I gave you a chance
To prove me wrong
But all this shit
Has gone on too long
You let me down
Many times before
Now I've learned
It won't happen no more
Cause I'm sick and tired
Of these games you play
You let me down
Now there's nothing you can say
Now I've turned my back
As you did yours
Friends like you
Have come and gone before
I'm sad to see you've walked away
I've seen it happen
Too many times
All the kids with wasted minds
But that won't happen to me
And I still can't fucking see
If you were smart
You'd lose that fucking joint
it's finally time for my
Turning point
It's never too late
To change your ways
Once you give it up
There'll be brighter days
But that won't happen to you
Just cut out all the shit you do
Because you're smart
You got my fucking point
It's finally time for your
Just one turn to steer your fate
Or wait for fate to spin you
Your trusting's fine
But much too blind
Your compass is within you
These days pass you yearning
Like empty pages turning
You're holding out for something real
You can't play pretender
Because you still remember
Just how full your heart can feel
But how long the distance getting by and getting through
Your heart's strong insistence
Says that nothing else will do
Or you could try on their distractions
Wear some empty compromise
But it's hard to breathe
Inside some cheap disguise
You can live your life completely
That true path you're here to find
Or stay scared
And leave your destiny behind
It's right now
Here's the turning point in time
Just one thing can kill this dream
To compromise your vision
We find our truth or live some lie
It rides on this decision
Meanwhile those other voices:
"hurry up and rush your choices,"
Try to second guess your fate, oh yeah
"you can't wait forever"
"gotta pull yourself together"
"feel the time is running late"
Well this time right now
The turning point is here
So look deep, see clear
Soon your chance will disappear
Or you could drift into distraction, wear
That empty compromise
But it's hard to breathe
Inside that cheap disguise
You can live your life completely
That true path you're here to find
Or stay scared and leave your destiny behind
It's right now
Here's the turning point in time
Here's the turning point in time
I would do it without mercy.
With a smile on my face.
But those times changed kind.
And respect is something that.
I chose to acknowledge.
I'm turning. Turning point.
Keep your head up kid.
Take it with a smile.
All from mistake.
You ran so fast
To get right where you are
You look around and wonder why
You ran so fucking fast
All the friends you took for granted
Childhood memories all brushed away
Just for the sake of expectation
I won't live my life that way
Peer pressure is just a prophecy
We are doomed to live out
I won't waste time on intimidation
I don't care if I'm cast out
High school kids just like the year before
Not struggling in academics
But setting new standards of who can drink more
It's not their fault
That's what they've been taught
But the biggest war will be on themselves
And it's one that's never fought
And won
I've won
I know you're scared
Because I'm scared for you
You promised yourself something
And never followed through
No ground broken
No ground lost
Just faint memories
Of bridges crossed
No words left to say
No voice left to speak
I've been running from the storm
It has left me weak
Turn around
Close your eyes
Ignore the things
that you despise
To scared to see
What's coming true
You're just running in place
From fear inside of you
You can't leave your heart
Desert your voice
I think you see
There's still a choice
To confront yourself
To reach inside
But you only see
The tears you cried
It's time to cut that leash
That drags us from the light
So foolish to think
shadows fall over this small town tonight
snuffing out the remains of the evening light
my mind is clouded - with the events of the day
why is life torturing me this way?
i keep running it back - running it back through my mind
but what do i get - what do i expect to find
my eyes drop to the floor - and every step i take forward
seems so unsure
so scream out...
crying to a world that does not care
i'm reaching through the black - and finding nothing there
i never felt so all alone - and so cramped all at once
trying to forget about a world
that turned up it's nose and passed me by
sleep washes over this tired soul
can't help but let this night
swallow me whole
awake to find - the sun staring down
Sinking
With nothing left to hold
When you've lost your old friends
You'll be out in the cold
Cause you can't hear
What I'm getting across
Every time I see you fall
I know that' you're lost it hurts
To see you hurt yourself
But you won't listen
So I can't help it hurts
To lose a good friends
But everything in life
Has an end
I see where you're headed
But I stand helpless
All the efforts I've made
Look so useless
You're chained
To the crumbling ground below
But I still care
And got to let you know it hurts
To see you hurt yourself
If you'd start listening
Then I could help it hurts
But your wounds will heal
Do you remember what you said
It was hard for me to forget
I put trust in you it all fell through
Something I'll always regret
Remember I was young
I thought I could do no wrong
But lies grew stale and bonds were weak
Bonds I thought were so fucking strong
It makes me so mad
I stood in the shadow of lies
And felt no pain
The truth comes out and friendship dies
Friendship dies
Because I'm straight
It's a trend to you
How could that be
When we number so few
You've always criticized us
Saying we do wrong
You just feel threatened
Cause you don't belong
There's nothing to fear
In our existence
I'm reaching out to you
You keep your distance
I separate myself
From the rest
Always thinking straight
Striving for the best
The few and the proud
Side by side
Standing tall
With clear minds
We'll never fall
Join with us
In our fight
In our hearts
Bridges burning and we ain't goin' back
Laws of conflict rules us and that's a fact
Nothing comes without a price to pain
That's your cliché life with nothing to say
What ever happened to the warrior spirit?
Nowadays they don't want to hear it
Words hold you like you're at gunpoint
Are meant to take you to the turning point
(Chorus)
There's no return
There's no way out
Unless you live and learn
Your life will crash and burn
My life's perfection for all you to see
But underneath there's a dark side to me
My stained character's hidden from you
It's battered and black and blue
Time destroys our meager existence
There's only defeat in resistance
New insight a counterpoint
Meant to take you to the turning point
(Chorus)
Let me stay in my comfort zone
I don't ever want you to leave me all alone
Fear of life, it terrifies me
I'd rather just stay blind to all the fuckin' shit I
Bridges burning and we ain't goin' back
Laws of conflict rules us and that's a fact
Nothing comes without a price to pain
That's your cliché life with nothing to say
Whatever happened to the warrior spirit?
Nowadays they don't want to hear it
Words hold you like you're at gunpoint
Are meant to take you to the turning point
Wherever I go
I see you tear
Down all we've built
And made us repair
The life that we've led
The philosophy we've built
In a mind of hatred
You feel no guilt
No I won't
Play this game of hate
You say things will change
But I can't wait
For you to realize
It's hate that you love
But hatred is nothing
To be proud of
Let's turn it
Turn it around
I'm standing by the fence
Looking on in disgust
In all this hate I feel no love
Is there no one left
No one left to trust
I sit here locked inside myself
And watch the time roll past my life
Concerning parties scratch and dig
but they haven’t got a clue
The loving ties I disconnect
they’ve torn apart from within the seams
Distorting the truth
I’ve found my iron will, will bleed the scenes
Sacrificing all my hopes and fears
Believing the words I found within
Her future it’s always been with him
Waiting for the turning point
The silence it takes its toll on me
All of my actions disappoint
I’m finding her heart’s consumed by him
By all accounts, we’re in the red
We’ve all been hanging by a thread
The secret it dwells inside of me
It’s barely alive but they can’t see
Sacrificing all my hopes and fears
Believing the words I found within
Her future it’s always been with him…
Waiting for the turning point
The silence it takes its toll on me
With pen in hand I disappoint
I’m finding her heart’s consumed by him
Waiting for the turning point
The silence it takes its toll on me
All of my actions disappoint
in the end she’ll be just fine
Coming to the breaking point
I leave no stone unturned
Deep within I fill the void
My screams go left unheard
Waiting for the turning point
The silence it takes its toll on me
With pen in hand I disappoint
in the end she’ll be just fine
Waiting for the turning point
The silence it takes its toll on me
All of my actions disappoint
in the end I think she’ll be just fine
We must search together or united we'll fall
Standing at the crossroad - just the two of us.
Will you travel with me? I'll take the surest path
