Oscar Injustice: 4 Great Performances Ignored by The Academy
With the Oscars finally concluded and cleared up for another year, with familiar lessons learned and perturbing trends set for the rest of the year, time comes for evaluation and discussion, thoughtful or otherwise. And one thing is clear: if there was predictability to be had in 2012, it came in the acting categories.
Although precious few will dispute the merits of the Dujardins, Streeps, Plummers and Spencers of the acting world, or even protest their victories, more talk comes about who didn’t win (Gary Oldman, and I will not pipe down about this), and those who weren’t even nominated (Hunter McCracken; Again, not letting it slide).
On various occasions throughout the years, an actor has given a truly outstanding performance in film, one that deserves all the plaudits and riches in the galaxy. And often, for varying circumstances, this same performer has had to settle with a simple, often grudging acknowledgement, a nod of recognition. But sometimes, mystifyingly, they get nothing, at least none from the guys at the top of the pile. While merit noms are sprayed left, right and centre, true class too often doesn’t catch the shrapnel.
Here are four such outstanding acting performances that were snubbed.
