ONTD Original: When the Academy Awards the Wrong Performance from an Actor

[madamezuzu]

Don't you just hate when politics gets involved in your award shows and RUINS it all? Have you ever seen an actor give a performance so amazing, so life altering, only for them to go home empty handed come award season? Have you seen the same actor get awarded either the next year or twenty years later and the role is the epitome of "her?" Well,

Joaquin def should have won for Walk the Line. I did love his performance in Joker (the movie itself was nothing special tho), but he was next level in Walk the Line.

I'm still miffed about his Gladiator loss tbh.

That role was iconique. I watched it as a kid and still remember it so well.

honestly the greatest actor of his generation, it was quite something watching that movie and thinking 'this guy is going to go on to be an all-timer'

Honestly Joaquin should have won for Walk the Line, Gladiator and You Were Never Really Here before Joker (and maybe even The Master as well). He's just churned out one incredible performance after another in his career

You were never really here was so distressing to watch, he killed it. Honestly his filmography is just insane
