I started this thread on the board for A Clockwork Orange. I think that Malcolm McDowell is possibly the biggest Oscar nomination snub of all time. Ben Foster in 3:10 to Yuma also came to mind. What are some other performances people think were robbed of a nomination?
If you eat a peanut butter sandwich and can still speak coherently, you've done something wrong.
Nope this movie was just a decent flick. did not deserve Oscar. i was surprised to learn it was even nominated in Oscar in any categories.
shareUm, Anthony Perkins for a certain PSYCHOtic role, maybe?
Kaneda... what can you see?
Michael Biehn for Abyss - no one does slow regression into psychotic paranoia like that & the 'tache deserved an oscar on its own. ;)

Perhaps not the biggest snub but Christian Bale for "The Machinist" is one of the one that come to mind...
sharesorry, but I think he was wrong for the part- his face too rounded, his voice just a tad too high in pitch. peter fonda as he was in his role in 310 would've snarled a better portrayal of wade than crowe did.

Did someone here really say Ben Affleck for Pearl harbor?
Anyway, this year also had some great performances not nominated.
- Tilda Swinton: We need to talk about Kevin
- Fassbender: Shame
- Ryan Gosling: Drive, Crazy stupid love, The ides of March
- I just didn't want to be a loser anymore. -
Sally Field in Steel Magnolias.

Bale for American Psycho, Pitt for Kalifornia, and Gosling for Stay (not a very good movie but Gosling literally carries that film on his back.

Mel Gibson - Braveheart, not even a nomination
Christian Bale - never got an Oscar nomination (3.10.., Batman ..., The Prestige)
Tom Cruise - Valkyrie (i dont really appreciate his acting as much, but that performance deserved a nomination)
