It's a really, really good year for tihs category when I can legitimately think of more than five people I wouldn't argue against winning.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-11837974692053748562019-11-17T12:03:03.316-06:002019-11-17T12:03:03.316-06:00As tends to be the case, I haven't seen the on...As tends to be the case, I haven't seen the one you mention that I didn't mention above.<br /><br />I'd have liked to have seen Depp nominated for this, but I'm of the opinion that the Academy doesn't love Jarmusch that much.

Il Postino is one I haven't caught up with yet. <br /><br />The other two would be ones I'd drop as well to be supplanted by some mix of Ian McKellan in Richard III, Bruce Willis in 12 Monkeys, Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman in Se7en and most definitely Tom Hanks in Apollo 13. He might be the safe choice as you say but Tom Hanks really has to work through so many emotional levels in rapid succession, plus I love the film so much, that he'd be my choice though I can't squawk about Cage taking it. What he's done with his career since is sad but he seems like such a clueless jackass he's his own worst enemy.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-30330557637965901992019-11-16T19:42:43.238-06:002019-11-16T19:42:43.238-06:00Personally, I think Johnny Depp should've gott...Personally, I think Johnny Depp should've gotten a serious nomination for <i>Dead Man</i> as that was one of his best performances while I would've been fine with Sean Penn for <i>Dead Man Walking</i>.
