  • PSH is one of the 3 or 4 best film actors alive today withour a doubt. I think as far as pure charachter portrayal, the only one is his league may be Daniel Day lewis.

  • If we could go back in time, which I know we can't, but if we could: to have given Heath Ledger the oscar that year, while he was here to enjoy the honor of it, and Philip Seymour Hoffman in 2008, when he was already nominated. I'm still so glad Hoffman won for "Capote", it was undoubtedly the best performance that year; a true stand-out. It just kills me to see Heath in the audience having just lost with no knowledge he would win only two years later but too late ;( There are no words.

  • best acceptance speech of all time

  • Why he kiss 3 girls?

  • wow tough year. everyone was awesome

  • @marKism69 could not agree more.

  • It was a Great performance from PSH, but I think Heath deserved it more. Heath's performance in Brokeback Mountain was just so emotionally powerful, that you forgot it was all pretend.

  • I get your point about Heath, but leaving PSH without an Oscar for Capote would have been unjust. Just the fact that Heath died later doesn't justify him getting THIS particular award over someone else. He DID win later didn't he. Yes, he wasn't there to receive it, and it would have been nice if he won one when he was alive, but Oscars can't really be given based on that. It can't be about convenience but about the performance. And I'm saying this as someone who loves Heath and mourns him.

  • @marKism69 Tom Hanks is good

  • because shes not reading from an autoque

  • @marKism69 I put Sean Penn in there as well. Sean Penn, Daniel Day-Lewis and Philip Seymour Hoffman are the three single greatest male actors alive today. If those three were in a film together my life would be complete.
