Det Jim McLeod Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Choose who you would have voted for from the actual nominees with your reason why. THE NOMINEES Tom Berenger in Platoon Michael Caine in Hannah And Her Sisters * Willem Dafoe in Platoon Denholm Elliott in A Room With A View Dennis Hopper in Hoosiers *= actual winner I vote for Dennis Hopper. The film is my favorite sports movie of all time and his character redeems himself from being a drunk when given a chance to be an assistant coach on a high school basketball team. His touching scene with his son near the end got him my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinemaInternational Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Dennis Hoppr for me as well. Not just for his touching work in Hoosiers but also for his terrifying turn in Blue Velvet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skimpole Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I don't know. "We should nominated Hopper for Hoosiers, because we're not man enough to nominate him for Blue Velvet," leaves me with a poor impression. And nominating someone struggling with alcoholism. Gee, the Academy has never done that before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmnoirguy Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 If David Niven could win an Oscar for Lead Actor in Separate Tables, Michael Caine should have won Lead Actor for Hannah and Her Sisters. But since he was nominated for Supporting, I think he more than deserved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lydecker Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Definitely, Dennis Hopper for Hoosiers (one of my all-time favorite films, too!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
