Was anyone else really surprised...


to learn that Tony Curtis wasn't nominated for his performance. This has got to be one of the biggest Oscar screw ups ever. Tom Cruise went and ripped Curtis off and he got a nomination go figure.

Well - how about telling us when and how Mr Cruise did that?






Don't touch that!
Why Not?
It does very bad things...

When he did Jerry Maguire I guess that was 1997 and as for how well just look at his performance and the fact that Cruise said that he was inspired by Curtis' Falco. This is not really meant to put down Cruise I thought he was good in Jerry Maguire but Tony was better and should have been nominated.
