I will never forget how disappointed I was when Tommy Lee Jones won the Oscar over Leonardo...that was an amazing performance of him...you just knew that there was more to come
I was pulling for Ralph Fiennes and still believe he deserved it - that was a career-making performance. But in fairness, Best Supporting Actor in 1993 was just a hot box of talent. What an impossible decision; it was probably the toughest category in the entire awards presentation that year.
Number 1 is absolutely spot on, though I do disagree about Bardem, because even though Casey gave a great performance as well, he's so clearly lead. Glad he's got an Oscar too now.
Joel Grey and Al Pacino both deserved the Oscar, so it was hard. Leonard di Caprio should have gotten best supporting actor. The rest were good choices.
I commented up above that Pacino should have been in the Best Actor category anyway. Brando, while his presence dominated the movie, would send a Native American in his place no matter what category he was in - so I leave him out.
Pacino's in Godfather was one of the all time great performances (even better than Brando's). Who can forget his eyes and body language in the restaurant scene? But there is no way it was as a Supporting Actor - he got FAR more screen time than Brando plus the whole plot turned around his character arc.
Agreed. Both Pacino & Grey were incredible, and I also agree that Pacino really should have been nominated for lead actor instead of Brando, and won it!😊
He was brilliant full stop. Ralph should have won. One of the most terrifying performances that I have ever seen in any movie set in World War 2 period. He had to physically and mentally turn into Amon Goerth for this movie and he absolutley nailed it. Perfect performance it's beyond me on why he didn't win the Oscar for this incredible performance. Are the Academy blind or something.
The supporting actor/actress category is often used to compensate veteran actors who’ve been bypassed over the years. It’s never a clearcut win for best quality. It happens in the best actor/actress categories too, to a lesser extent. I mean, Meryl has given some iconic performances, but Margaret Thatcher? C’mon, that wasn’t one of them.
I agree with most of these including Tom Sizemore in Saving Private Ryan. That is his best performance ever! It makes no sense that he did not get any recognition for any awards let alone an Oscar.
Edward Norton was a newcomer that time i believe is the only reason he lost... Same with DiCaprio he was so young so i doubt they will give it to him that age... Case Affleck was really really good in Jesse James, he carried mostly the load of that movie but i think he lost because of tougher overall movie competition against No Country and There will be blood, but hey Javier winning it if you ask me he deserve it too... honestly Its a tough call between Javier and Casey.. Javier role could be one of the most scariest psychopatic role ever in hollywood same as Hannibal. Its just so sad that Edward never win while Casey and Leo already have one each.
I agree with a few of your choices but Al Pacino shouldn't have been nominated for Supporting actor. He's in the movie twice as much as Brando. 1972 should've gone to Burt Reynolds for Deliverance. Tommy Lee Jones Oscar should've gone to Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List. 1975 should've been Robert Shaw in Jaws. 1976 should've been Laurence Olivier in Marathon Man.
It does seem like a lot of these were given to older long time film actors for sentimental reasons, and not so much for merit. I agree especially that Brad Dourif should have won.
Oh was that category a tough one that year! A strong case could be made for Leo DiCaprio too, and I loved Pete Postlewaite's work in "In the Name of the Father." Tommy Lee damn near stole "The Fugitive" from Harrison Ford and we all know he got the Oscar because he was overdue. But there was only one performance that made me sit in my seat when the film was done. Through my tears I told my friend that I needed to see the cast for "Schindler's List" because I wanted to know that name of the "guy who played the Nazi commandant, he is an incredible actor!" I went to see Liam Neeson and Ben Kingsley and came out marveling at Ralph Fiennes. He really should have won the Oscar. It was astounding work, both in realizing his character and in bouncing off of Neeson.
Michael Shannon should have won over Marshala Ali for Nocturnal Animals. I just never really was moved or at least affected by Ali's performance. Shannon took a character with about 35 mins acreen time and made him fully realized.
Edward Norton performance was beyond amazing! Robert Duvall was incredible...BUT the ONE that deserved it more than any other?? Haley Joel Osment as the little boy that “sees dead people” in the Sixth Sense! SERIOUSLY, how do you miss THAT one!?
Joel Grey should be #1 on this list, with all due respect to him. I mean, it's Al Pacino in "The Godfather." We really shouldn't need to expand on that.
Well, what SHOULD have happened was put Pacino in the Best Actor category. He should have won. I personally would keep Joel Grey as a win in the Supporting Category - but I am nuts about both Cabaret and The Godfather.
Pacino was in the wrong category, he had way more screen time than Best Actor winner Brando did who has very little dialog in the film and is rarely seen moving about except most notably in his last scene in the garden with his grandson.
your list nullified itself when you dissed bardem in no country for old men...the greatest villain performance alongside ledger's joker and hopkins' hannibal lecter...agree with cruise- easily his best performance of all time in magnolia...
Joel Grey's performance in Cabaret were mostly music numbers...he hardly acted. However instead of best supporting, Pachino should have won best actor while Brando, who's appearance on screen was minimal, shoulda got BSA
Disagree. Comedic and musical wins should be fewer and far between, but Grey's brilliant, incredible, and scarily sinister performance deserved every plaudit and award he garnered.
You do realize that he was singing and dancing as a character... which requires acting. That's the trick of it - to combine all three of those talents into one memorable character.
I agree with several of your changes; however there are 5 more that I think need to be there... 1955 Sal Mineo should have won for Rebel Without A Cause instead of Jack Lemmon for Mister Roberts. James Mason was outstanding in 1966 for his role in Georgy Girl instead of Walter Matteau for the Fortune Cookie. In 1982, John Lithgow gave a great performance in The World According to Garp and should have at least shared or beaten Louis Gossett Jr for an Officer and a Gentleman. 1992 I would have like to seen Jaye Davidson win for the Crying Game over Gene Hackman for Unforgiven. and the last one in 2005 is a no brainer, even though I think the world of George Clooney as an actor, human, and great person, what Jake Gyllenhaal did in Brokeback Mountain was better than Syriana.
Gotta say, nothing against Louis Gossett, but John Lithgow was terrific in "Garp." Maybe the question there was which actor not only defined their character well but who also best supported the lead performance? What do you think?
I agree Ed Norton should have won for Primal Fear and Leonardo DiCaprio for WEGG. I couldn't believe my ears when they read CGjr name for Jerry MaQuire
Everyone deserved to win over Michael Caine that year (even Jude Law). Out of all of them, Tom Cruise was probably most deserving, though Michael Clarke Duncan is a very close second.
Al Pacino shouldn't have been nominated for Best Supporting Actor for The Godfather. He's in the movie for 2 1/2 hrs & Marlon Brando is in it for 30+ minutes. Both should've been nominated for Best Actor. Burt Reynolds in Deliverance won should've won
Haley Joel Osment should have won over Michael Caine. This was an exceptional year tho. Any one of the nominees would have been a deserving winner. Was very impressed with Michael Caine's speech.tho. A class act all the way.
i disagree with the fact that matt damon wasn't nominated for best supporting actor for ford v ferrari. he should've been nominated over tom hanks in my opinion. if he was nominated for best supporting actor for the golden globes, why wasn't he nominated for the oscars? i really don't understand.
Because Fosse's direction was seen as more innovative and daring. Don't worry - Coppola got his Directing Oscar a couple of years later. He already had a screenwriting one.
Coppola should have won over Fosse,bar none! Who remembers Cabaret after 51 years, I don't! Saw it once, seen The GODFATHER at least 20 times! Best movie 🎥 Ever!
Well, it won Best Picture and best actress (and should have won best actor). The stage play only has the 3 main characters in it. All 3 are written beautifully.
In best actor they do this where the older guy wins over the younger guy for making up to ( pacino , denzel, leo ) in supporting mostly older actors for sentiment over the better actor. I wish they just got it right bc the making up to oscar screws the younger better guy & best supporting is just old hollywood body of work sentimental. Pacino , dicaprio are the most screwed actors ever. They should have at least 2 leads & 1 supporting ( even though al literally was the lead over brando in part 1 but its brando. ) the two im.shocked have no Oscar's male or female are ed norton & glenn close. Its sickening that jlaw, Paltrow & emma stone have lead Oscar's & glenn has zero. Julia Roberts is not oscar worthy either imo.
These lists are no good as they only look at the other nominees. Supporting Actor 1987 should have gone to Will Patton for No Way Out. However he wasnt even nominated and anyone who has seen that movie knows he should have at the very least been nominated.
All of this is subjective some performances such as Joaquin Phoenix in the Master a fantastic performance in a shit movie was far better than his win in the Joker
Your assumption that the person responsible for this video is male and that only male viewers enjoy brutal warlike movies while women prefer quiet ones is really sexist....
@@josephkearny5874 Absolutely. Should have gotten honorary awards instead. And these sympathy awards are surprisingly discriminatory -- Burns and Ameche, but not Gloria Stuart!!
@@josephkearny5874 I know. But unlike Stuart and Kim Basinger who gave equally entertaining performances but no bravura tours-de-force, Bacall's performance was overrated.
@@GiovanniGGori I suppose but I liked Joe's performance in "Goodfellas" better. The Oscars don't like to give ties. It only happened once when Katharine Hepburn and Barbra Streisand won in 1968. If you want a tie, Gregory Peck and Peter O'Toole when they played in "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Lawrence of Arabia". SPECTACULAR performances by both men!!!!!!
