Fred Gwynne who played as herman munster, also played in My Cousin Vinnie. He was so funny and made such facial expression that I will never forget in my whole life. Do you know any other outstanding acts that went untalked about?

It seems that happens alot---then years later the actor gets the recognition for some role that paled in comparison to that outstanding performance. This happens all the time at the Academy Awards - for instance Rod Steiger should have gotten the Academy Award for "The Pawnbroker," the year he was nominated but didn't win. Instead, they gave him the award for "In the Heat of the Night," - a great performance but nothing like "The Pawnbroker."
This happened again when John Wayne was awarded the Academy Award - not for "True Grit" but for his entire body of work in his entire career - it also happened to Don Ameche when he won for "Cocoon."
It seems that a great performance may be overlooked one year and then people realize the injustice that was done and try to make up for it later. Some actors never get their due - like Richard Burton or Peter O'Toole. Although both were nominated many many times for incredibly outstanding work, neither of them ever received an Academy award. O'Toole did receive a special Academy award for his body of work - an example of people trying to right a wrong. Guess that's just the way it is - people can be fickle and miss the greatness that is in front of them.

I feel it is dependent. There is plenty of speak that she might take a Ted Kennedy like function within the Senate. I've even heard speak of her being nominated to the Supreme Court - despite the fact that her supporters say that she's extra of a fighter and a legislator than the Supreme Court enables. I'm curious even though why you have been "stunned" that she ended her crusade. There used to be no manner she used to be going to be equipped to win. Obama had the quintessential delegates. Since the Florida/Michigan dilemma got here to a good compromise that desired her greater than Obama what case might she have on the credentials committee? For the Wiz: She obtained a bigger share of delegates in each states, which desired her. She did win the states, however it's difficult to mention she gained them "a long way and rectangular" because earlier to the election no one inspiration the election might topic, there used to be no campaigning, and he or she used to be the one essential candidate at the Michigan poll. Obama did get rid of his title from the pollin protest of Michigan's previous election - however so did the opposite essential applicants as opposed to Clinton, it wasn't simply Obama. Given that the democratic regulations permit for proportional allocation of the delegates in any case, I feel that the DNC compromise used to be reasonable and he or she nonetheless obtained extra delegates than Obama from those primaries accordingly. For Obama Campaign Worker: Veeps certainly not cross directly to be Presidents?John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Martin Van Buren (adequate a lesser identified president), Richard Nixon, and George HW Bush, have been all VPs.

Johnny Depp in The Libertine. It was such a departure from all of his other work and he brought so much backstory and emotion to his character, Wilmot. It recieved minimal promotion and talk in the media, and therefore was not the biggest hit. It is really worth the time to watch it though.

Many times. But it's usually the technical aspects that get overlooked. The cinematography in Pride and Prejudice (2005) was superb, and yet it wasn't even nominated for best cinematography.

Dennis Quaid should have gotten an Oscar nomination for Far From Heaven.

Justin Kirk in Angels in America. I think he was the only member of the cast that didn't get an Emmy nomination. What a crime.

I feel sorry for voice-over artists, they spend years developing their voices so that they can perform any character they may be asked for and then a bunch of celebrities are brought in so that they can use name recognition to up the grosses!
