Not that I hated his performance but I didn't think it was oscar worthy.

Honestly, I think this is one of his best performances. Certainly his funniest.

Jokerswild1 - That would leave him with only one win for Supporting Actor in his entire career. That wouldn't seem right.

Neither did the Academy, the Oscar went to Joe Pesci for Goodfellas.

@UltronDoom86 A lot of yelling, but not much acting. Dustin Hoffman was much better, though the whole movie is too hammy for anyone to be nominated - they're literally playing cartoon characters.

The only exception would be Glenne Headly as Tess - she seemed to play a real character. I like Dick Tracy, but subtle it ain't.
