I love Sam Jackson, but Fishburne as Ike Turner was one of the best performances ever! Why the heck didn't he and Angela Bassett win Oscar's for their roles in What's Love Got to Do With It?

That's a tough question. My opinion is that Samuel L Jackson is better overall (you do see him in a lot more movies than Fishburne) but Fishburne has played some tremendous roles also. I guess it would be a tie!!!
