Johnny Depp has an excellent chance of getting a Best Actor nom
......for his role as the corrupt CIA agent in "Once Upon a Time in Mexico". He's winning raves up and down at Venice.
What, you thought I was talking about Pirates of the Caribbean?!?

Huh? Anyway, Johnny Depp should of been nominated for Blow as well as Fear & Loathing. He'll get his nom eventually, but I really don't think you need one of those golden trophys to prove you are an excellent actor.

He's billed third. Even if he has a lot of screen time, his nomination would more likely be for Best Supporting Actor.

Depp is one of the finest actors out there and can do almost any range and he has proven that. Actors like Crowe and other's haven't - yet they get awards. I don't quite understand it..Look at Depp's list..
Nightmare on Elm Street - Fine performance.
Edward Sissorhands - A damn amazing performance.
Ed Wood - Name one other actor who could of done this one? Brave move also , both for Depp and Burton!
Sleepy Hollow - Easily the best part of the flick. When all else suffered, he kept goin'.
Pirates - At first I wasn't too sure about his performance , but it grew on me pretty fast.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Easily Depp's finest performance and I can't picture anyone else doin' that role justice.
Blow - Heart felt and very well done.
The list goes on and on (The Ninth Gate / Chocolat / From Hell).
Nightmare on Elm Street - Fine performance.
Edward Sissorhands - A damn amazing performance.
Ed Wood - Name one other actor who could of done this one? Brave move also , both for Depp and Burton!
Sleepy Hollow - Easily the best part of the flick. When all else suffered, he kept goin'.

Maybe, I just don't care for Crowe or his performance's. Still, it's a crime that Depp has not been noticed for his many peformances by the academy. Sure, the awards don't make a great actor , but it does show a lot of respect for their work.
Personally, I think Depp will once again be ignored by the Academy and yet another year will go by where Depp doesn't receive proper respect for his performances.

While I agree that Depp is a great actor and should of been nominated and such I don't think he did anything spectacular this year to garner a nomination. Maybe next year.

Good point, javanut, he will certainly get the best actor in a comedy nomination this year at the globes, maybe even win it? I doubt it will translate into an oscar nomination though, they tend to prefer nominating the thespians.
I scrolled through the oscarwatch list, looking for all the standout comedies coming out in a few months.. Here are some other possibilities in that category, best actor in a comedy (hey, I'm bored, cut me some slack
) -- Paul Giamatti - American Splender, Bill Murray - Lost in Translation, George Clooney - Intolerable Cruelty, Ewan McGregor - Big Fish, Bob Downey Jr - Singing Detectives.. I haven't seen any of those movies, so I don't know how they'd compare to Depp's work in Pirates. I can't see him winning though if Murray is nominated.. his nomination and possible win will most likely translate into an oscar nomination, especially after the Rushmore snub. Oscars sometimes give one slot to comedy anyway.

Johnny Depp Likens U.S. To An Agressive, 'Dumb Puppy'
Actor Discusses America's Conflict With France Over Iraqi War
POSTED: 9:46 a.m. PDT September 3, 2003
UPDATED: 10:13 a.m. PDT September 3, 2003
LOS ANGELES -- Actor Johnny Depp likened the United States to a "dumb puppy that has big teeth" in an interview published Wednesday, ridiculing Washington's confrontation with France, where he lives, over the war in Iraq.
The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star -- who spends much of his time in the south of France with his companion, Vanessa Paradis, and their two children -- told a German magazine he couldn't see himself paying more than short visits to his Los Angeles residence in the present political climate.
"America is dumb, is something like a dumb puppy that has big teeth -- that can bite and hurt you, aggressive," Depp was quoted as saying.
Depp recalled that French fries were renamed "Freedom fries" in the House cafeteria on Capitol Hill at the height of U.S. anger over France's refusal to back the administration of President Bush over the war in Iraq.
"Nothing made me happier than when I read that -- grown men and grown women in positions of power in the United States government," Depp said. "I was ecstatic because they revealed themselves as idiots."
Depp said he wanted his two children, ages 1 and 4, to experience the United States "like it's a kind a toy -- a broken toy maybe. Investigate a little bit, check it out, get this feeling and then get out."
Depp recently starred in the Disney blockbuster "Pirates of the Caribbean" and can next be seen in the film "Once Upon A Time In Mexico" which opens in theaters on Sept. 12.

I think a Golden Globe nod is sealed up. The Academy will be harder to convince. I don't put much stock into the awards they give out, but I'm guessing they may feel PotC was a little too popcorn for a nod. Still, if Tommy Lee Jones could win for Fugitive and Jack Palance for City Slickers, I'd say Depp may have a shot at a Supporting Actor nod for PotC. I'd love to see it myself.
Depp is the only A-list actor in Hollywood that I really look forward to seeing in things. Well, I like John Cusack too. But that's about it. And I agree that he was robbed on F&LiLV, but the truth is that it was pretty much critically reviled at the time, and was a big underperformer at the box office. It's only been in recent years that people have finally begun to catch on to how funny the film/amazing his performance is.
