I'm pretty sure she got nominated for that one.

[Bob Schneider]

True, but she lost to Julia fucking Roberts. A travesty none the less.

[balli]

Jim Carrey should have won for Man on the Moon. I don't know who did win Best Actor that year, but they didn't deserve it.

[Nbadan]

Some people loved it, some hated it...it got snubbed by the
academy...

[mardigan]

Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands.

[SA210]

Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire, Russell Crowe in The Insider

[Findog]

I'm pretty sure she got nominated for that one.

I'm pretty sure I never want to watch that movie again.

well that might of been a snub for jim, but i think him in the truman show was a huuuuuuge snub. When i think of great movies i think can another person on the earth play that part and no way people could've pulled off truman show like he did.

On anothe note...VAL fuckin KILMER as DOC HOLLIDAY. R U kidding, i think they gave it to tommy lee jones for fugitive which is a movie i love but val as doc i dont think ive seen a better performance. His comedy, and the dying scene with wyatt at the end, "i dont think i can feel my toes", val wins for most snubbed, just / thread

[TheGodfather]

Al Pacino in The Godfather Part II.

He lost to Art Carney??

2002 should have given out 2 Best Actors. While Adrien Brody certainly deserved a nod, Day Lewis as Bill the Butcher was nothing short of brilliant. Add to that the fact that Denzel won the award the year before for his role in Training Day, and it's even MORE upsetting.

[jacobdrj]

Star Wars.

[Spursfan092120]

I thought Mickey Rourke should have won Best Actor in "The Wrestler"

[EricB]

I'd say Benjamin Button's mother should've gotten a supporting actress nod.

[jack sommerset]

Keira Knightley-Atonement

[kromediablo]

Brad Pitt as Mickey in Snatch. The movie was all over the place, but his character was convincing!

[Trainwreck2100]

that whole oscars was travesty, denzel for training day, even bigger sham was Halle Berry for Monster's ball add up sydney potiay winning lietime achievement it was fucking black people day at the oscars that year

[Jacob1983]

Tom Hanks for Saving Private Ryan. I can't believe he lost to Roberto Benigni.

[Phillip]

The Dark Knight for Best Picture

[Dr. Gonzo]

Rob Van Winkle for his portrayal of Johnny Van Owen is the 1991 film "Cool as Ice".

[mrsmaalox]

Vincent D'Onofrio as Pvt. Pyle in Full Metal Jacket.

[CuckingFunt]

I'd say Benjamin Button's mother should've gotten a supporting actress nod.

Taraji P. Henson was nominated. She lost to Penelope Cruz in Vicki Christina Barcelona, which was a very good performance.

[balli]

The Dark Knight for Best Picture
I hope you're just mocking the halfwits who actually believe that.

[sonic21]

Maria Bello for A History of Violence
Bill Murray for Lost in Translation

There was just recently a poll for this on CNN or something. Year by year it went through who "should have" won. My first and second easily topped the poll:

1) Ralph Fiennes for "Schindler's List". Travesty. He lost to Jones for "The Fugitive". Someone else mentioned Val Kilmer in "Tombstone" which was the same year. I liked Kilmer's performance but Fiennes in Schindler's list is one of the creepiest/darkest villians ever. There's really no comparison.

2) "Saving Private Ryan" lost to "Shakespeare in Love". What. A. Freaking. Joke.

3) Tom Hanks for "Cast Away". I think "Gladiator" is one of the most over-rated movies of all time and Crowe's one-note performance was hardly deserving of an oscar. I thought Crowe SHOULD have won for "A Beautiful Mind" but he lost to Denzel Washington in "Training Day". The Oscars are political and there are LOTS of SNUBS. But these three stick out the most to me.

[Strike]

I know it's different categories and all, and it doesn't really relate to this topic, but the fact that Three 6 Mafia won an oscar before Martin Scorcese always sticks out in my mind as possibly the ultimate Oscar travesty of all time.

[Spurminator]

Julia over Burstyn still makes me mad.

Also, Crash is the worst Best Picture pick in a long time.

[Whisky Dog]

Goodfellas - Best Picture.

[iggypop123]

shawhank redemption>>>>>Forest Gump

[Jacob1983]

So if Crash wasn't the Best Picture of 2005, what was? Brokeback Mountain? Capote? Good Night and Good Luck? Munich?

Good Night and Good Luck is one of the most boring films to have ever been nominated for Best Picture. Phillip Seymour Hoffman was great in Capote. I just don't think the film was as great as his performance. Munich was good but not great. Brokeback Mountain was only nominated because it dealt with two gay guys lying about who they were. If Brokeback Mountain had been about two straight cowboys, it would have never been nominated. Crash was the best picture of 2005. It was in your face and made no apologies about me. Everyone can relate to that movie because racism and prejudice are an everyday thing. Everyone is racist and prejudice on some level whether they want to admit it or not.

[Spurminator]

The Constant Gardener was the best picture of 2005. Unfortunately it wasn't nominated. Brokeback Mountain would have been a weak BP winner too, but I could have stomached it a lot more easily than the insulting piece of garbage that was Crash.

[holcs50]

Crash gets a lot of shit, but personally i liked it more than the other nominees. I remember walking out of that movie and knowing i just saw a good movie-that's all you can ask for. The nominees that year were bad, i'll have to go look at what else came out that year and im sure i could find better movies than those nominated.

[SA210]

Crash was great!

It comes as no suprise that you loved Transformers 2.

[Kermit]

:lmao

Schindler's List was only nominated because it was about some Jews escaping the Nazis. If it was about some Germans it never would've been nominated.

[Kermit]

Kramer v. Kramer was only nominated because it was about some couple getting a divorce and the dad having custody. If it was about Kramer from Seinfeld doing battle with his future self over the fate of Kenny Roger's Chicken, it wouldn't have been nominated.

[monosylab1k]

^ :lmao

[monosylab1k]

Quiz Show was only nominated because it was about quiz shows.
