Who do you think was "burned" by not receiving an Oscar or Oscar Nomination? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 09-01-2005, 12:28 PM

I was watching "What's Love Got To Do With It" for I think the millionth and one time. And I couldn't help but feel that Angela was denied an Oscar for that performance of portraying Tina Turner. She was awesome, she showed such artistic display and her acting made me believe I was really watching Tina, not Angela. I watched "Chicago" and I loved that movie. Catherine Zeta Jones won an Oscar for her portrayal. Yet, that part was alot of singing and dancing. Angela's part entailed dancing, performing and lip-synching to another person's voice. I just feel she was denied and should have gotten the award. Not that her performance was any less for not receiving it.

Denzel Washington's been burned twice: no nomination for Philadelphia and no win for Malcolm X.

You must be psychic, I was just ready to post this myself.... I love his work and YES, he was BURNED!!!! OMG, Malcolm X was phenomenal. Love that movie. Just don't understand why he wasn't even nominated for Philadelphia.

Angela Bassett is married to Courtney Vance, not Don Cheadle.

THAT'S the guy - yeah - an amazing actor. I know the ones who were up against him were also excellent. Its tough when they have so many who deserve it in one year.

Yeah - good to be back too. Needed a bit of a break, but can't stay away too long.

O/T but I'm sooooo pissed - lost a bunch of channels yesterday so I don't get TVLand now - no more Good Times. Meanwhile, just in the last week I had like 20 good questions to ask about certain eps. Damn!!! Gonna have to buy the DVD set now for sure.

I think Christina Ricci should have gotten a nod for Monster, and I personally feel that Chloe Sevigny should have won over Jolie.

Yeah, but he won for Training Day, which was a crime.

Russell Crowe (far better in A Beautiful Mind) was robbed.

Oh I am sorry. Was your line-up changed or something? I hate that when that happens. Sorry Tripper. Just glad to see you back.

Whoopi Goldberg was robbed for her performance of Celie in The Color Purple... if that wasn't Oscar-worthy, I don't know what is. Definately in my top 5 favorite performances of all time.

Catherine won Best Supporting Actress for 'Chicago', Angela was the Lead Actress in 'What's Love Got To Do With It'.
