Do you care to elaborate as to how? All Clint did was walk around slowly with an angry look on his face and talked in a gruff voice. Foxx gets on my nerves sometimes off the camera when he's cocky, but in Ray he was unbelivably incredible.

I believe Phoenix sang in Walk the Line

Glenn Close for Fatal Attraction. She was nominated, but didn't win, which was an immense disappointment to me, and for others. Cher won the Oscar that year, over Glenn Close for Moonstruck.Cher's performance in that movie was just mediocre, and strictly not Oscar material to be a winner.

Just since 1990:
Tom Hanks should have won for CAST AWAY over Crowe for GLADIATOR (both excellent performances)
Johnny Depp should have won for PIRATES over Penn for MYSTIC RIVER, but Paul Giamatti should have been nominated and won for AMERICAN SPLENDOR
Diane Lane should have won for UNFAITHFUL over Kidman for THE HOURS
Kate Winslet should have won for ETERNAL SUNSHINE over Swank for MILLION DOLLAR BABY
William H. Macy should have won for FARGO over Gooding, Jr. for JERRY MAGUIRE
Tom Cruise should have won for MAGNOLIA over Caine for CIDER HOUSE RULES
Ken Watanabe should have won for THE LAST SAMURAI over Robbins for MYSTIC RIVER
Thomas Haden Church should have won for SIDEWAYS over Freeman for MILLION DOLLAR BABY
Kate Hudson should have won for ALMOST FAMOUS over Marcia Gay Harden for POLLOCK
Ang Lee should have won for CROUCHING TIGER over Soderbergh for TRAFFIC
L.A. CONFIDENTIAL should have won over TITANIC
CROUCHING TIGER should have won over GLADIATOR
There, I feel better
