Robbed of an Oscar

That's true, because I've looked at that passage in the Bible, and it differs a lot.
But, I still think Jackson/Tarantino's version is better.

Salma Hayek (2002) - Should have walked away with Best Actress for Frida instead of Nicole Kidman for The Hours!!

Penelope Cruz (2005) - Before her nomination for Volver she should have been nominated for one of the greatest female performances ever as Italia in 'Non ti muovere' (Don't Move). She would have won Best Actress here instead of Reese Witherspoon for Walk The Line.

Natalie Portman and Ashley Judd (2000,2001) - Both should have been nominated for Anywhere But Here

Gael Garcia Bernal (2004/5) - Should have been nominated and won for either of his roles in Bad Education or The Motorcycle Diaries

Pedro Almodovar - Should have been nominated for Best Foreign Film, Best Film and Best Director multiple times for Talk To Her, All About My Mother, Live Flesh and Volver.

Cecilia Roth - Why hasnt this woman been nominated for her acting, should have definitely received one for All About My Mother!!

Javier Bardem (2000) - Should have won Best Actor here for Before Night Falls over Russell Crowe for Gladiator.

Eric Bana - Should have been nominated for Best Actor for Munich and this year for Romulus My Father.

Lagaan (2001) - Should have won Best Foreign Film but lost to No Mans Land.


I agree with City of God, Al Pacino, Quentin Tarintino and most of the other opinions put forward, I mean we could go on and on about who was robbed who deserved it and so on so Im just gonna leave my list at that for now cause I could write pages on who and what I think was robbed. The Oscars are balls anyway, they sometimes show form by getting it right but a majority of the time they stuff it up!!

Im happy with Javier, and Marion's nominations and victories tonight as well!! VIVA FRANCE

Okay, so after watching Back to the Future a couple nights ago, I've decided the most glaring Oscar injustice of all time is Alan Silvestri not even getting a flippin nomination for that score of his. Seriously, has there ever been less recognition for such an iconic slice of movie music?

Roger Deakins, legendary DOP, a bit like Scorcesse, nominated many times but never a winner.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour?

There should have been at least an Oscar nomination for the Iranian movie Offside (Foreign Language Film category, obviously). They got shafted because the Iranian government refused to give it a release - and unless it's been released in the country of origin it's not eligible. A great and important movie nonetheless - about time they changed those rules...

Another day, another movie...

I thought Sharon Stone was great in Casino and was in a good chance of winning the oscar she was nominated for. Susan Sarandon won instead, so I'm not really going to complain. I think Sharon deserved it more though, as Dead Man Walking is not Susan's best performance.

Martin Scorcese for every film. And to think that he finally won for one of his poorer movies. Sure, the Departed was good, but can it be comapred to any of his earlier films? Taxi Driver, Raging Bull?

New bible as written by Quentin Tarantino...

Rod Steiger for The Pawnbroker.

If Steiger doesn't win, at least Richard Burton for The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, right?

Oh no, Lee Marvin wins for Cat Ballou.

Paul Dano in There Will Be Blood! What happened there? He was absolutly amazing and he didn't even get nominated for a Globe. I think if he hadn't been in Daniel Day Lewis' shadow I think he would've gotten much more credit. Also Jackie Haley in Little Children, and pretty much everyone in Requim for a Dream.

The fact that neither Edward Norton nor Kate Winslet have yet won Oscars is mildly upsetting.
But far worse than that is the fact that Gary Oldman has never even been nominated. It baffles me.

Almodovar was nominated for Best director for Talk to Her and won best screenplay in 2003.

All About My Mother won best foreign language film in 2000

Geoffrey Rush should have won for Quills. But yeah, Javier Bardem over Russell Crowe any day.

The Professional was a weird movie, man!

It's entire theme was pedophilia...why do you think Leon took care of a plant?

Hey people, I don't know if there's a thread for this already. If there is feel free to delete it.

Who, in all the years of the Oscars, do you think has been robbed of one?

Of course there's Grace Kelly winning for "The Country Girl" while Judy Garland lost for "A Star Is Born". I'm just wondering if people think there's anymore.

Grace Kelly robbed? I haven't seen either, but its hard to imagine Grace Kelly robbing anyone of an oscar. She is awesome.

I would like to say Denzel got robbed for the Hurricane, but he really didn't. Though I do think it is perhaps his strongest performance, he was still up against big competition.

Directors Stanley Kubrick and Alfred Hitchcock were nominated plenty of times but didn't win in a single of them, they were robbed in a few
