Acting in Skyfall warranted a Supporting actor Oscar nod.
He was terrific in that movie. Not to *beep* on any of the nominations but, come on! It was a weak enough year for supporting actors as it was, they might as well give Bardem the nomination.
I mean, Alan Arkin in Argo? are you serious? He was good but he wasn't Oscar nomination worthy by any stretch. Same with TLJ in Lincoln, why did he even get a nomination? again he was ok, but rewatching it there was nothing special about his performance.
