he does deserve it.. And no he didn't play him exactly like he played Landa. His mannerism here were funny.. In Inglorious he had some mannerisms similar to Django, but they were spooky. Schultz was not a cold-blooded man and he certainly was not cruel. He was cruel with folks who deserved it.. If he was cruel and cold-blooded he wouldn't have offered himself to pay for that slave ripped apart by dogs. He was actually vulnerable.. too vulnerable I would say for a bounty hunter. He gave himself away immediately. You're mixing things. The fact that the character is German and educated doesn't mean that he's the same character. Schultz's sophistication had a lot to do with the movie. He was the refined gentleman coming from Europe who is exposed to the sadistic and ignorant behavior of the average white american. His mimic was absolutely different. Landa had a sinister smile on his face. His mannerisms here added to the comical tone of the movie. Landa was cold, vain and had a sick sense of humor. Schultz was a witty, vulnerable bounty hunter with a slapstick humor. There's a different between a sadistic humor and a slapstick humor. Although he deserve it, I doubt he'll win it so fast. They'll probably give it to Jones or De Niro. And neither of them deserve it. If Waltz has to lose the Oscar, I'd be glad if he'd lose it to Hoffman who was absolutely phenomenal in an underrated movie, The Master. When talking about merit, it all comes down to Waltz and Hoffman. The rest were average and didn't even deserve the nomination. Bardem, Dicaprio and Dwight Henry should have gotten the nominations instead of De Niro, Arkin and Jones.

I've only seen Django out of the BSA nominees, and I figure there must've been better performances than Christoph's. His was good but tons of similar performances (mostly serious with the odd comedic touch) have not won or even been nominated.

But I still kinda hope he wins , even though I think there are sure to have been better performances. Just because Django was an awesome movie and second Oscars are always nice. As you can see I'm a big Oscars purist .

Marcoli is really a muskrat.

Well he just won!

I will admit that Christop Waltz deserved his 2nd oscar more than the first one but I will admit that I was rather pissed that Robert De Niro got snubbed since his performance in Silver Linings was worthy.

I personally thought DeNiro deserved it more. But still I'm glad that Waltz won.

I have not seen Django, but as I watched the Academy Awards and saw his "the best actor in a supporting role"- clip, I thought he played the part exactly the same way he did with Hans Landa in Basterds. All of the gestures and intonation were very similar. In my opinion, strangely he won. Perhaps the other nominees were even worse. Go figure...
