First of all, Penn has an Oscar for Mystic River.
This might had been Rourke's only shot at an Oscar. Penn is going to continue making great movies. And if not Rourke, why not Brad Pitt? Brad has done great work in the past and should have been rewarded. What do you guys think? that has to be the dumbest f'ing thing I've ever heard. Maybe the NFL should have just awarded the Cardinals the Super Bowl because the Steelers already had 5 of them as opposed to awarding it based on who was actually better in that game. if you want to argue Mickey Rourke deserved it because his performance, I'll agree. but you didn't. |

Well, whether or not that is what "Joe on the Street" wants, that's typically how the Oscar's work. Look at freakin' Kate Winslet tonight! Oscars are a bunch of baloney. Best actor should have been Richard Jenkins, anyways.

Taken didn't get snubbed yet....it was released after December 31st, 2008 which eliminated it from being a nomination for the 2009 Oscars.

I saw it and loved it, but. . .that's pretty crazy to think Taken will get nominated for something. But even if it was a great Oscar-type movie, a lot of getting an Oscar win is about when the movie comes out. Just like it is better to be the best team to lose earliest in the season for the BCS, it is best to be the best movie late in the season for the purposes of Oscar. If the awards happened in October or so of last year, I betcha Dark Knight would have won a couple more Oscars, at least (and would've been nominated for a few more, probably). |

Clint Eastwood has four Oscars, the most recent from 2005 as Best Director and Best Picture for "Million Dollar Baby."
He also has 'em for: Best Director and Best Picture for "Unforgiven" in 1993 I just watched that last night. Wonderful! |

You are crazy, man. I wouldn't complain if it happened, though. It really was an awesome movie. I'm considering going to see it again.

"Death Race" should have been nominated for best sound editing before "Wanted."
