PappyTron Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Do people really not like Hanks as an actor? I always thought that I was the only one who feels his roles are all a bit...the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelica Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Mickey Rourke was robbed by Sean Penn. The Wrestler performance > Milk performanceNot in the least.Mickey Rourke was robbed by Sean Penn. The Wrestler performance > Milk performanceYes, totally agree!But it's all politics in the academy awards Al Pacino finally winning best actor for...Scent of a Woman. Forrest Gump, Crash, The King's Speech, Braveheart, The English Patient, Titanic, Shakespeare in Love, American Beauty, The Departed, Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind, Lord of the Whichever Installment Won, etc. Gwyneth, Halle, it's fucking endless.What movie did you think should of won instead of American Beauty?1999 was the strongest year of that decade for film, there were numerous films more deserving - Three Kings, The Insider, Magnolia, All About My Mother, Election, Fight Club, Being John Malkovich, Boys Don't Cry etc. American Beauty is a fine film, but a hugely flawed and overrated one.

Gia Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 @Angelica, I can see why people would think it's overrated, but in my opinion the only movie that would even come close to winning best picture was Boys Don't Cry... and maybe, just maybe , All about your motherBut those other movies are kinda meh (but to be fair I haven't seen Being John Malcovich) . Especially Fight Club, I think that is waaaaay overrated.But that's just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Len B'stard Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) John Wayne.Yeah, seriously I think the academy gave him this Oscar because he was dying of cancer.He weren't dyin of cancer when True Grit came out. He deserved more. Red River, The Shootist, Rio Bravo, The Searchers. Oscars are a load of fuckin' bollocks anyway. Hey, lets all congratulate ourselves for being…ourselves.

Guest NGOG Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) Mickey Rourke didn't play himself, he performed a character which mirrored his own personal storyline. That's what it made it so powerful. I like Sean Penn, Mickey Rourke would never be able to do something like I Am Sam. That said, the only reason they gave Penn the Oscar is because he portrayed a theme which might shed the Academy's conservative image.Mickey Rourke was openly disillusioned by the industry for over a decade. The same industry was more than prepared to support that self-imposed period of exile. Why? Because they can't hack anybody criticizing the industry's questionable creativity/integrity. They were never going to reward somebody that defied Hollywood by getting back into the game through the immense public affection he garners.
