Nobody was clammoring for a re-make ofTrue Grit - I wasn't anyway.
I'm looking forward to seeing True Grit, I have enjoyed much of the Coen Brothers' work and I want to see if it stays closer to the novel than it's predecessor.

I was going to see it last weekend. It was sold out as I was halfway through the line at the theater. I'll probably see it myself at the tail end of this weekend or next week when the theater will be empty.
The Best Acting Oscar that John Wayne got for True Grit was a sympathy/makeup gesture.
Sort of a lifetime achievement award.
Far from his best work.

Best actor nominations 1969:
Richard Burton, Anne of the Thousand Days
Dustin Hoffman, Midnight Cowboy
Peter O'Toole, Goodbye, Mr. Chips
Jon Voight, Midnight Cowboy
John Wayne, True Grit
Of those five, Dustin Hoffman's performance was deserving of a win, as was Wayne's. Voight's performance was certainly worthy of the nomination. As much as I love Peter O'Toole, and as much as I like the movie Goodbye Mr. Chips, not his best work. I can't speak to Burton, I don't really remember the performance or the film.
For me, Wayne's best work was his last film, The Shootist.
