texanna Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 if there are any actors you like that wer enot nominated or did not win an oscar this year, which one would you most like to see win an oscar? for me, now that kate winslet has won an oscar, the next one i'd most like to see win one is keira knightly, who has only been nominated once so far. if she gives a good performanc3 in some movie in the next year or so, i hope she gets nomianted.

georgiegirl Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I think I only saw one of the movies nominated this year, so... But if I had to pick a celeb I like who hasn't won the award and should in my book, it would be...The envelope please. Tom Hanks! He's my Jimmy Stewart of today. lol Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I know TH has won twice, but the question was who didn't win this year. lol I like TH's body of work. He has that old Hollywood flair. He can do comedy as well as drama, and if he does another pic this year I wouldn't mind him winning another award next year. :-) I know so few of the new kids on the Hollywood block it's not funny! If I had my druthers, I'd like to see Spencer Tracy win one and be there to pick it up himself. :-) Link to post Share on other sites

hamradio Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Gene Hackman for "Crimson Tide" and "Unforgiven" Link to post Share on other sites
Film_Fatale Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 He did win an Oscar for *Unforgiven*. And he was good in *Crimson Tide*, but not as good as Denzel Washington. Link to post Share on other sites

After a few post last night, I was really getting worried about the value of the Oscar. Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington did performed equally well in "Crimson Tide". Ever wondered did such a scenerio actually took placed during the Cold War? Link to post Share on other sites
CineMaven Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Greta Garbo in "CAMILLE." A wonderful performance. Link to post Share on other sites

route66 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Those are both great choices, visualfeast. I've loved Dillon since "Drugstore Cowboy" and Taylor since the wonderful "Dogfight". Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Spaulding Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'd like to see Robert Duvall win Oscar in the near future. I know he's already won for *Tender Mercies* (1983-?), but he also should have won for *The Apostle* (1997-?). His performance in *The Apostle* is fabulous! I think he was so cheated out of an Oscar for that movie and should win for something else in the future to make up for it. He deserves it. Link to post Share on other sites
