Should have won 3 Oscars- Film, Actor, Director


Great film.

I think this is definitely one of Stone's greatest, but "Platoon" earned the Picture/Director combo. I would have definitely given "Salvador" a Best Actor for James Woods. In a battle of Screenplay, it's hard to pick. Maybe that's why Woody Allen won for screenplay: Stone fans split their votes too evenly.

Salvador did deserve noms for best Score (could have won, in my opinion), best cinematography, best supporting actor (Jim Belushi), and best sound.
