I do agree however that Jim Carrey was robbed of a nomination for The Truman Show. <br /><br />As for the rest Benigni would be dead last and then Norton, Nolte and Tom Hanks as runner-up. <br /><br />Out of the actual nominees only Hanks and McKellan would carry over and the others would be replaced by Carrey, Clive Owen for Croupier (a terrific gritty little noir if you haven't seen it) and Tim Roth in The Legend of 1900 with Warren Beatty coming in sixth for Bulworth.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-74578483700992549202019-12-03T19:16:30.181-06:002019-12-03T19:16:30.181-06:00Since Affliction actually came out in 1997, I don&...Since <i>Affliction</i> actually came out in 1997, I don't really take issue with your putting him there. <br /><br />It's a really good year. A nomination list of Murray, Baker, Beatty, Bridges, and Carrey is entirely new and leaves out Hanks and Norton as deserving nominations, not to mention Nolte. <br /><br />Strong years are harder to write up, but also a lot more interesting. But in a fair vote, this had to be Carrey's Oscar--nothing works in <i>The Truman Show</i> without him, and there's no one else who could really do that role.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-24100421608744039792019-12-03T18:12:34.791-06:002019-12-03T18:12:34.791-06:00Honestly, I think it should've gone to Jim Car...Honestly, I think it should've gone to Jim Carrey as well. He had the best performance that year and really showed his range as an actor. Part of me also wants Jeff Bridges to win the Oscar that year because it's the Dude. Only he can play that role and I would've loved for him to be at the Oscars and win the prize in the same clothes he wore in the film as they were actually the clothes he wears at home. <br /><br />Bill Murray, Dylan Baker, and Warren Beatty should've been the ones nominated. Tom Hanks and Edward Norton could stay while I have Nick Nolte for my '97 list of best actors of that year.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
