What was the biggest robbery in Oscar history?

I won't deny it was probably the best movie for all the actors in it. (except for Walken and Keitel of course) but that isn't saying much considering their body of work. Seriously without Tarantino's dialogue and direction this movie isn't a classic at all, There was no real stand out actor in this movie.


All I have to say about Samuel L is that screaming and overreacting your lines doesn't make you a good actor, I bet you don't even know he was in Goodfellas because the cast was too great to even care about him. [pic]

Some Can Argue:
'75-One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest > Dog Day Afternoon
'92-Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman > Denzel Washington in Malcolm X
'06-The Departed > Letter from Iwo Jima, Babel, the Queen

He is right... There is not stand out performance in the movie. Even tho Sam's role was the best. It would be nothing without the script. Thats the reason why I love the movie, As an ensemble and the direction.

Yo, I love ur Hunter Avy too. Did u see Buy the ticket, Take the Ride?

pulp fiction was a great movie because each actor fed off each other.. it wasn't made for one person, tarrantino's movies never work like that, and with that being said each did a great job in there roles... u can't say anyone had a standout performance because with the exception of travolta each person is in the movie for maybe 20 minutes at most..

yepp I agree with this

smokeweed.. as for sam's acting. all I'm going to say is pulp fiction, jackie brown, Black snake moan & unbreakable. I thoroughly enjoyed his performances in all those movies. However, like I said before, the roles he picks water down his acting resume tremendously. But to say he isn't a good actor... I disagree.

and of course I knew he was in goodfellas. I vividly remember him getting offed. Even if I didn't remember him, it wasn't like he played a significant role in the movie anyway.

Can't find and don't think I will find a legit argument for these being wrong especially the first one. (Nicholson's best movie.)

As for '71-The French Connection > Clockwork Orange
A Clockwork Orange losing isn't even arguable it was a mistake [pic], with the exception of 72,74,76 (Godfather I & II, Taxi Driver.) It was the best movie of the 70's and could win every year that decade.

True these people love to hype Samuel L for his acting [pic] Him along with Travolta, and Thurman are hollywood action guys. Then there is the king Bruce Willis who almost ruins the movie by playing the same Die Hard guy like every other movie. :thumbsdow

I never seen it though, im a fan of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

'06-Alan Arkin in Little Miss Sunshine > Eddie Murphy in Dreamgirls

The Color Purple....greatest robbery of all time period. Nominations- 11, Wins-0...That's bull!! beyond belief.

Yeah ur right. That film did give the world a glimpse on Jacks range as an actor. I love how the story is in that movie.

The reason why I say an argument over The French Connection. I never seen it, I dont wanna give unfair judgement. Even tho Clockwork is a !!in mind !!. Kubrick pushed the envelope further than any film I ever seen. Besides faces of [rip]. Most peoples tastes cant stomache watchin some scenes.
