Best Actor Oscar 2002
Wed, 3 Apr 2002, 01:43 pmRussell should have nailed that award but @!#$ does happen these days. If he'd taken the oscar this year instead of last for Gladiator (which he was awesome in - but at heart, was written as a very one dimensional role), the cherry would have been twice as sweet. Imagine that, three consecutive nominations and then on the final, falling ass-backward into Oscar Glory.
Oh well.
Who cares if he gets in a few biffs. Surely that doesn't draw away from his performance, which, lets face it, has raised the benchmark in the history of screen acting. He has every reason to demand respect. He is not paid twenty million a film to 'respect his elders' and be on his 'best behaviour'. He is paid to produce the exemplar final product - which there is no argument, he does.
But, on reflection, Brando did miss out on the Oscar for 'Streetcar.' So this isn't the first time that this has happenned.
Stay cool, everyone.

Small clarification: The entire 6000 membership of Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) are entitled to vote on the Oscars not just the board. The only awards that are chosen only by the board are the Scientific and Technical Awards, Honorary Awards, Special Achievement Awards and other special honors.
Nominations are handled by the individual branches of AMPAS. The director branch chooses the nominees for the director category, writers choose the writer nominees, etc. Nominations for foreign language and documentary categories are made by large committees of members drawn from all branches. Best Picture nominations are determined by vote of the entire membership.
