Mine would of course be the absolute decimation Meryl Streep performed upon her competition in 1979 with Kramer vs Kramer, Manhattan, and Seduction.  |

Boseman always had Ahmed nipping away wins (I actually think Riz might've equaled if not surpassed Chadwick in actual wins by the end) and Hopkins had the late surge. This would've been like if Forest Whitaker had lost to Peter O'Toole in '06 despite winning literally every single award imaginable. |

It's a shame that Newman didn't win for better performances down the line like Nobody's Fool or even Road to Perdition but it's sad it came at Hoskins' expense. I'm wondering if Hoskins has a claim for being one of the best actors of that decade. Even Who Framed Roger Rabbit was a masterclass performance. Would have loved to have seen him as Al Capone in The Untouchables. |

It was pretty close. Going off of your tally thread, Boseman had 19 and Ahmed had 16. |

Isabelle Huppert for Elle and Things to Come. Two of the best performances of the 2010s.

Curtis Hanson. Should have won the Oscar easily. One of the best movies of the 90’s.

Hoskins only lost NBR and the Oscar. was in a time/era where there were only about 8 or 9 awards during the whole season, if that. And in that time BAFTA came after the Oscars and was often heavily slanted to British talent. So a win there meant nothing in the context of the Oscar race. It is not comparable. Boseman won far more, and I'd say his loss was a bigger thing than Hoskins. |

As I said, Hoskins existed in a time when there were like 3 critics awards or whatever, compared to 60+ or whatever it is now. It is a silly comparison . Boseman won almost everything that mattered till BAFTA (where the British Hopkins has a natural advantage). That loss feels bigger to me. Just my opinion though |

Surprisingly a lot of meh here. But Streep in Sophie's Choice, Wiest in Hannah and Her Sisters, De Niro in Taxi Driver, Murray in Lost in Translation, DDL in TWBB, Hackman in Unforgiven, Landau in Ed Wood, and Waltz in Basterds are all really good from these lists. Plus Chastain in Tree of Life, but I have a feeling she was more being awarded for The Help (yuck).

I wasn't alive during the Hoskins year, but I assume everyone and their Mum were predicting him??
Because like half of AW, and a decent amount of people here had switched to Hopkins before the ceremony.

I know you can't admit when being proven objectively wrong, (let's not forget your stubborn, if not pugnacious, predictions of "Viola Davis lock", "Glen Close lock", and "Boseman lock" from last year), so I won't argue further, though I will correct you on one factual point, BAFTA was before the Oscars in the 86/87 award season. |

It was just the Brits doing their own thing. Winning or losing BAFTA back then had little to no bearing on the Oscar race, whether it took place before or after. As for the rest of your pointlessly bitchy, baby-ish and irrelevant screed...the only word I got for it is petty. But I won't bother stooping to that level, so I'll leave it there. Give your reply, try be polite and move on. It ain't that difficult. |

Thank you for proving my point The only point you wanted to prove was that you are an " Internet Tough Guy" who wanted to pick a fight over a completely innocuous and polite message board comment by replying with mega bitch-level attitude and hoping to get pats on the head and likes for giving attitude to pupdurcs. I've got enough dickheads who want to make a name for themselves trying it with me. Wait in line Jog on! |
