i know he won for the year 1974, but the oscars for that year was held in 1975. Milk came out in 2008, but Penn won his oscar in 2009. There will be blood came out in 2007 but DDL won his award in 2008. You check your damn facts.
for his career or for his performance? The person that truly deserved it that year wasn't even nominated. The years I put down below were for the year the oscars were held not the year the movie came out, Carney won in 75.
COULD have been good...really it was just awful...1/5stars....What i would have imagined was names at the bottom of the screen....sound of the academy awards, not this..."music"......you don't feel like you are looking through history, you just getting depressed...
Scent of a Woman was by far one of Al Pacino's greatest peformances, and we never again see him do anything even close to amazing except maybe his small role in Angels in America. I haven't seen Art Carney's film, but De Niro stole Part II. I do agree that Part II was one of Pacino's greatest peformances.
i would say Serpico, The Godfather II and Dog Day Afternoon were Al Pacino's best performance and should've been recognized..of course the Acadamy is used to recognize great actors for the wrong role or performance..i mean Pacino was so good in Scent of a Woman but no was as great as in the other roles i mentioned...so it's a shame the Academy still do that...not fear for great actors like Pacino and others ones...
Warner Baxter won an Oscar for playing The Cisco Kid, if you can believe that. That's like winning an Oscar for playing Hopalong Cassidy or the Lone Ranger.
Thanks for all your efforts. Would have liked to have seen a still for Paul Lukas from the film WATCH ON THE RHINE and Rex Harrison's was from the play MY FAIR LADY and would've preferred a pic form the film. Would've liked to have seen a better picture of Art Carney from HARRY & TONTO; one where he is the focus of the pic. Don't remember that look on Charlton Heston from BEN-HUR, I need to watch again.

am i demeaning a group of people? sorta, but you are every bit as guilty as i am, for demeaming the 'homophobic' group. i respect opinions as long as they arent hypocritical.
Half of John Wayne's movie's are better. Gone with the Wind is. Forrest Gump, Brave Heart, LOTR:Return of the King, Dead Poets Society, Star Wars and lots more are better.
youre crazy! ive seen quite a few john wayne movies, gon with the wind, forrest gump, braveheart, return of the king, dead poest society, and star wars. and nope, youre just crazy.
okay, dont just look at it by how much you like it, but how well it was done, the quality of acting, script, character interplay, influence, and of course, story. if you take those key things into account, movies like dead poets society and john wayne movies dont stand a chance. besides,
I am going on how good they are. The wedding scene was shit. most of it could have been cut in half and it would have been shorter and bored me less. How do you know about the script? Brando is known for improving because he doesn't know his lines.
you wanna see a boring and stupid wedding scene, watch the deer hunter. if you dont have enough patience for that, then youre opinion must be slightly discounted for lack of attention span. scriptwise, brando may have improvised, but does that mean that caan duvall and pacino all did too? it is such an amazing movie, that really anyone who says that it isnt that good is just crazy. its like saying that about casablanca or citizen kane, it puts you in a group who get ignored.
I don't care about how long a movie is. It's only most of the scenes could have been cut, more emotion added for lack of scene and it would have been a deeper meaning. Didn't say it was bad, but not the great ever. Did I bring Robert Duvall and Al Pacino into this? I loved Brando, but he wasn't the most dedicated actor ever. I am watching Citizen kane right now and trust me, it isn't any better. Orsen Wells is good but the rest of it isn't my kinda movie. That's all, just not my type of movie.
well what s your type of movie? the kind that recieve praise as the 2nd best of the year, so that you can be the same, yet different? its what it seems like to me, so correct me if im wrong.
haha, you were angry? if you knew me in real life, youd know that i am just very vocal about my opinion, and you cant take me too seriously because i am very vocal about my opinion. besides, internet arguements are totally-lame. ;D
im not saying im a spokesperson, im just saying that i dont like it. in america, people are entitled to things called 'opinions', and 'freedom of speech', which means that people should not be judged or ridiculed for it. so forgive me if i offended you in some way, but it is my opinion, and when i listen to yours and dont say anything about it, i expect the same courtesy from you.
ledger was NOT A GREAT ACTOR. HE NEVER WAS GREAT. he was only GOOD. give it six more months and everyone will forget about the dark knight ad heath ledger. i guarantee it
Watch Brokeback Mountain and the Patriot and 10 Thing I Hate About You and The Dark Knight. Those were huge streches from one another and not nearly alike.
I bet you couldn't perform even close to his calss of actor.
I am thrilled that Denzel Washington won an Oscar, but I think he earned it in The Hurricane, look how long Al Pacino had to wait, geez, but this is a masterful video, I love it, great job adn all of these performances are fantastic, and to who ever says that John Wayne didn't deserve an Oscar,, well I just wish he could come back here and kick your butt
I heart Robert Donat but I think Clark Gable deserved the Oscar for Gone with the Wind in 1940 (or Laurence Olivier in Wuthering Heights, it's a toss up)
Lick, allow me to start by saying umm:Fuck you. I've been a Ledger fan since I first watched him in The Patriot! You can't even tell it's Billy Bob in Sling Blade. And have you even seen The Crying Game? Stephan Rea is amazing! And it only counts for that movie dude. And Russell Crowe is a beast, he deserved it big time for A Beautiful Mind.
John Wayne deserved the Oscar for The Searchers, and maybe Red River. If that was a lifetime award for True Grit, so be it. Hoffman and Voigt were great and probably cancelled each other out voting wise. The academy did not ignore them going foreward. All great actors, but the Duke was due.
as did Geoffrey Rush, but i agree that Russell Crowe was ripped out of A Beautiful Mind. He only didnt win because they didnt want him to embarass them, and that is a fact
Hoffman... Maybe, I can't judge too much as I haven't gotten the chance to see Capote yet. But, Ledger in Brokeback Mountain was stunning and just perfect. I only believe Thorton for Sling Blade because you have NO IDEA who he is. It was his biggest sterch to date.
after the 2000 oscars, Crowe did some things in public that... well, they didnt want to have ahppen at their ceremonies, and they were afraid of it.
and i HAVE heard of sling blade, and billy bob, i just dont like him. but Rush should have been nominated for 1995 because thats the year Shine was made.
amateur, not proffesionally. i want to get in the business, but i believe i may be too late. but chief dan george wasnt in movies til he was 70, so there is always that. lol
But you can tell that is the mark of a great actor. Thorton is everything that makes that movie awesome. You don't know who plays that character because he was the character entirely.
in the end, it all just comes down to who you like the best. there is no transformation, i can spot an actor im familiarwith immediately anyway, so i dont believe in actor transformation.
Then I guess you aren't very good. With Ledger that is nothing like him in the Dark Knight. You can't lie and say that is like any of his other roles.
it was the fricken make-up. in the end, he only did half the acting. and when i say i dont believe in transformation, i mean when you are watchng the movie it will always be the character in it, but the actor is the one you remember, not the role.
Dude, he had to get into the character for it. His wife said that for months before his acting he'd be in the character. Daniel Day Lewis sat in a wheel chair for 3 months in the making of My Left Foot. Ledger sat in a motel for a month and wrote the point of view of the Joker in journals. That is not only make up you see?
DDL always is in character during filming, but it doesnt make him any better than other great actors who get shunned by the critical community. look at russell crowe, that guy is amazing in every movie heis in, but he gets criticized for it. i feel a certain amount of contempt for DDL and Ledger, cu they get way more credit than they deserve.
He was a friggin' GOD in it though! Dude, his portrayal as Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain was awe inspiring. It pushed me harder to be an actor. The Patriot he proved he was going to be something. And as the Joker, he was everything that the role should be.
meh, i liked him, but i like Eckhart just as much. actually, i found him more believable. that guy is underrated, watch thank you for smoking. hilarious.
I must withdraw my statment about Al Pacino. Yes, Stephen Rea was extremely worthy of Best Actor in a Leading Role in 1992, but I just watched Scent of a Woman, and Al Pacino brought to the table a performance like one that is unbeatable and near unmatchable. Not saying it is better than Rea's performance, and not vice-versa. But, both are so good it is near impossible to say which is better.
I agree that John Wayne's Oscar was really a tribute, but most people agree that it was Dustin Hoffman who gave the performance of the year for Midnight Cowboy.
why do you have to call me a moron? it's my opinion. i have my opinion, you have yours. i don't need to call you a moron just because you think michael douglas deserved the oscar for wall street.
Totally disagree with you on every score. But each to their own. As to whether certain films are racist or dated, films, like every other product of our culture, reflect the attitudes of people making them at the time. That's neither a good or a bad thing it's just a fact. And luckily nobody is forced to watch anything they don't want to. If some want to watch Titanic, The Crying Game, A Few Good Men or Little Miss Sunshine they can and if I think they're drivel and prefer to watch Shane I can.
dont you think liam neeson should have won for schindlers list not tom hanks for philadelphia. i also agree with art carney winning over jack nicholson he did such an amazing job in chinatown
I do think he should have won. Liam is a very underrated actor who hasn't gotten complete regocnition of his work. Tom is good, but just good. He's not THAT great. Many people disgree, but he's just not one of my favorites. But yes, Neeson should have won.
Robert Duvall, Al Pacino, Spencer Tracy, Gary Cooper, Rex Harrison, Lionel Barrymore, Humphrey Bogart, Jack Nicholson, Alec Guiness, Maximillian Schell, Anthony Hopkins
MEN among men
But you cant put much stock in an award for acting thats been won by Nicolas Cage and Jennifer Hudson, but not by Richard Burton or Peter O'Toole
I do have to amend this comment about Daniel Day Lewis. saw "There Will Be Blood." it was certainly the best performance by a lead actor since Hopkins in Silence/Lambs. brilliant.
My favorites are probably Daniel Day Lewis, De Niro, and Brando. But, shit, so many of these guys on here are so good that it is hard to really pick actual favorites

amateur, not proffesionally. i want to get in the business, but i believe i may be too late. but chief dan george wasnt in movies til he was 70, so there is always that. lol
IAmOysterman 3 years ago
But you can tell that is the mark of a great actor. Thorton is everything that makes that movie awesome. You don't know who plays that character because he was the character entirely.

in the end, it all just comes down to who you like the best. there is no transformation, i can spot an actor im familiarwith immediately anyway, so i dont believe in actor transformation.

Then I guess you aren't very good. With Ledger that is nothing like him in the Dark Knight. You can't lie and say that is like any of his other roles.
generalares 3 years ago
it was the fricken make-up. in the end, he only did half the acting. and when i say i dont believe in transformation, i mean when you are watchng the movie it will always be the character in it, but the actor is the one you remember, not the role.
IAmOysterman 3 years ago
Dude, he had to get into the character for it. His wife said that for months before his acting he'd be in the character. Daniel Day Lewis sat in a wheel chair for 3 months in the making of My Left Foot. Ledger sat in a motel for a month and wrote the point of view of the Joker in journals. That is not only make up you see?
generalares 3 years ago
DDL always is in character during filming, but it doesnt make him any better than other great actors who get shunned by the critical community. look at russell crowe, that guy is amazing in every movie heis in, but he gets criticized for it. i feel a certain amount of contempt for DDL and Ledger, cu they get way more credit than they deserve.
IAmOysterman 3 years ago
How so? How do they get more credit than deserved?
generalares 3 years ago
because there will be blood sucked!!! and people are obsessed with ledger cuz he just died. posthomous judgements are biased.
IAmOysterman 3 years ago
He was a friggin' GOD in it though! Dude, his portrayal as Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain was awe inspiring. It pushed me harder to be an actor. The Patriot he proved he was going to be something. And as the Joker, he was everything that the role should be.
generalares 3 years ago
meh, i liked him, but i like Eckhart just as much. actually, i found him more believable. that guy is underrated, watch thank you for smoking. hilarious.
IAmOysterman 3 years ago
Eckhart was real good, but the Joker steals the show every second he's on there.

I must withdraw my statment about Al Pacino. Yes, Stephen Rea was extremely worthy of Best Actor in a Leading Role in 1992, but I just watched Scent of a Woman, and Al Pacino brought to the table a performance like one that is unbeatable and near unmatchable. Not saying it is better than Rea's performance, and not vice-versa. But, both are so good it is near impossible to say which is better.
Thank you for your time

I agree that John Wayne's Oscar was really a tribute, but most people agree that it was Dustin Hoffman who gave the performance of the year for Midnight Cowboy.

why do you have to call me a moron? it's my opinion. i have my opinion, you have yours. i don't need to call you a moron just because you think michael douglas deserved the oscar for wall street.

As I said, each to their own. I find Shane to be a perfectly paced film.
Tikilizzy 3 years ago
Totally disagree with you on every score. But each to their own. As to whether certain films are racist or dated, films, like every other product of our culture, reflect the attitudes of people making them at the time. That's neither a good or a bad thing it's just a fact. And luckily nobody is forced to watch anything they don't want to. If some want to watch Titanic, The Crying Game, A Few Good Men or Little Miss Sunshine they can and if I think they're drivel and prefer to watch Shane I can.

*Richard Dreyfuss winning over Richard Burton
*Art Carney winning over Jack Nicholson
*Peter Finch winning over William Holden
*Ben Kingsly winning over Dustin Hoffman
*Tom Hanks winning over John Travolta
BillyL96 3 years ago
dont you think liam neeson should have won for schindlers list not tom hanks for philadelphia. i also agree with art carney winning over jack nicholson he did such an amazing job in chinatown
directorperez92 3 years ago
I do think he should have won. Liam is a very underrated actor who hasn't gotten complete regocnition of his work. Tom is good, but just good. He's not THAT great. Many people disgree, but he's just not one of my favorites. But yes, Neeson should have won.
BillyL96 3 years ago 2
I agree with Peter Finch winning over William Holden. Finch should've gotten supporting actor.
ripum853 3 years ago
I mean I agree that Finch shouldn't have won over Holden lol.

The Best:
*Kevin Spacey, American Beauty
*Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Capote
*Gregory Peck, To Kill a Mockingbird
*Anthony Hopkins, The Silence of the Lambs
*Russell Crowe, Gladiator
*Robert DeNiro, Raging Bull
*Forest Whitaker, The Last King of Scotland

Peter O'Toole should have won over Gregory Peck, De Niro or Holden should have won over Finch.

Yes I agree, William Holden should have won over Peter Finch. And he probably would have if he hadn't died.
