Hi
There were two problems here, we had a second film which was
not the right one, which I have removed.

To se the performances and awards, you have to look one ply
out into the 'compound value types' that model these things.

For example:

{
   "query":[{
     "*":[{}],
     "name":"The Usual Suspects",
     "type":"/film/film"
   }]
}

The schema for a film performance is here:
	http://www.freebase.com/view/schema/film/performance

So to get a list of those, something like this would work:

{
   "query":[{
     "name":"The Usual Suspects",
     "starring":[{
       "actor":null,
       "part":null
     }],
     "type":"/film/film"
   }]
}
