The oscars are a load of nonsense and here's why


I find it comical that Richard Harris, whom I would consider one of the greatest actors of his time and enjoy his films, even finding him similar to Laurence Olivier, NEVER, won an Oscar.

How is it, that Richard Harris won not one Oscar, yet you look at others who have won oscars, who in my opinion are much less deserving than Harris. Look through the list of those who have won Oscars, I reckon Harris outdoes a lot of them

Anywyay, my favourite Irish actor and one of my favourite actors, te fact he never won one has made me realise just how unimportant the Oscars really are, seeing as Harris didn't win it, yet so many who weren't as deserving did.

Indeed.

BUT, he was the only man when he was nominated in 1990 to stand up and ask jeremy irons (who had won) in front of the whole oscar crowd 'sorry jeremy my good man, dya think you could tell me who came second?' lol

Perfection in darkness

LOL! Only Richard Harris would do that.
