It's bad enough that Leonardo DiCaprio didn't win, but to have him lose to Tommy Lee Jones' role in The Fugitive is just a slap to the face. Now, if he had lost to Ralph Fiennes, that would be understandable, seeing as both actors gave absolutely spectacular performances. What about Tommy Lee Jones' performance was Oscar-worthy? He did give a good performance, yes, but NOTHING like that of Leo's or Ralph's.

I think everyone misunderstood this, okay sure the other nominees were fantastic, but Tommy Lee Jones does something only a few actors do, they make the character so real, Gene Hackman does it to. They don't overact, they just are the part, as if it were real life. Jones acted in The Fugitive just exactly how a Law Enforcement Marshall would have in that situation. Tommy Lee Jones deserved it. Peace!

That year,

Leo, Ralph and pete deserved Oscars. Those performances were insane.

He finally got the Oscar and he is bold as hell.

LEONARDO DICAPRIO SHOULD'VE WIN!

I think that DiCaprio's interpretation is more complete, is emotive, sensitive and very difficult to interpretate.

LINCOLN should've been #2

Well the Oscars agree with me, so...

The fact that you believe Tommy Lee Jones's performance in "The Fugitive" was at a higher level than Ralph Fiennes's performance in "Schindler's List" is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard! Anybody with the slightest understanding of high level detailed acting skills would never believe that Tommy Lee Jones should have won best supporting actor for "The Fugitive." This is why I have no respect for ignorant movie critics. You have absolutely no idea what your talking about.
