RIP all. I was talking about living actors. But you remind us all how maybe we should take the Oscars with a small grain of salt, when you consider who never won.

😮

Agree, and considering who won as well (*cough* Nicholas Cage)

Mickey Rourke, his style was unique back in the eighties and like Brando he influenced thousands of actors.

Living - Gena Rowlands (everyone thought she had it for "A Woman Under The Influence" but I think she was screwed because Cassavetes was anti-establishment)

Hal Holbrook, currently 94, didn't get his first nomination until he was in his 80s but didn't win.

The Oscars are a joke and are not to be taken seriously.

The last couple of years I haven't even bothered to watch. Just a "woke" fest. I used to watch every year. Now it makes no sense that I started this thread! :)

Same goes for the Emmys and Grammys. Just a way for Hollywood Elite to show off.

And show how "woke" they are, before hitting those extravagant parties, and then riding in a limousine home to their mansions.
