He is not the best but Harrison Ford should have one.

Glenn Close, seven-time Academy Award nominee without a win. Same as Richard Burton, so I guess she is in good company!

Perhaps, but her specialty is playing characters that just annoy the hell out of me.

The Truman Show - bitch
The Squid and the Whale - bitch
Breach - bitch
John Adams - mostly annoying

Admittedly that's all I've seen out of her large repertoire

That's the second mention of Ralph Fiennes, (I've already commented about Glenn Close).

Elaine Benes told me that anyone associated with The English Patient should be permanently ineligible.

he should've won for Schindler's List

Even-Steven between him and Tom Hanks for Philadelphia.

reply

[–] dmac8 (5050) 5 years ago

Hanks won for best actor.

Fiennes was in the best supporting actor category.

reply

[–] nyctc7 (43591) 5 years ago

My error. Yes, he should have won over Timmy Lee Jones for The Fugitive, no disrespect for Jones' performance.
