The sympathy vote for Peter O'Toole failed.
Forest Whitaker did a great job, and prepared greatly for his role (gaining 50lbs., learning to play the accordion, learning Swahili, learning Amin's accent).
I'm surprised no one mentions that for all Meryl Streep's Oscar nominations (14), she's won very infrequently, less even than 'chance' (twice). And both wins came very early in her career.

I don't think Peter O'toole even knew he was AT the Oscars... Total zombie... He was staring at the crowd, probably thinking "Who ARE these people that keep saying my name? Why am I wearing this suit?" Sad, really... such a great actor.

Completely and utterly. He's one of the greatest actors I've seen. Don't get me wrong here, Forest Whittaker did a fine job in Last King Of Scotland. But our Peter deserved to win.

i did not think of Tatum O'Neal deserved one for Paper Moon, yet i assume a cursing 9 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous replace right into a novelty to the voters lower back then. i don't think of On Golden Pond replace into Henry Fonda's suited paintings, however the Academy in all probability sensed he wasn't long for this worldwide and gave it to him. Jack Nicholson replace into in actuality taking part in himself in as sturdy because it gets AND words of Endearment. Julia Roberts is demanding, yet as somebody else suggested, a minimum of she shrink wayyyy lower back on performing while they gave her one. Nicole Kidman, ooo-weee, a pretend nostril, how clever, permit's supply her one (or maybe it replace into in simple terms to annoy Tom) so some distance as robbed: John injury for The Elephant guy Jeff Bridges for Starman Gena Rowlands for Gloria Marsha Mason for The see you later woman Dudley Moore for Arthur Glenn close for deadly attraction

OH, yes, I heard about this. But it wasn't actually at the Oscars, was it? I heard it was on his way home, some dude pulled him aside like he wanted an autograph, but then he stole his wallet!! So, sad. Some people just have NO respect for the elderly.

I don't know who thinks that, I don't, he just didn't get enough votes. He should not get the Oscar just because he is old.
