George Clooney in Syriana : Why did Clooney win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in Syriana?? He was only on screen for about 20 total minutes and had no memorable lines or performance. His only real line that required acting was his line : "Why are they investigating me?"

The Saudi Prince whos life he tried to save should have gotten the Oscar if Clooney got it. Matt Damon did better acting by crying and furrowing his eyebrows after his son died. Hell, why not give the Pakistani suicide bomber the Oscar for his serious acting? Many other actors in Syriana were more qualified than G. Clooney.

Popularity must go a long way in deciding who gets Academy Awards.

And why did Mark Wahlberg NOT win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his small yet, powerful role in The Departed??

Every professional and even the critics agreed that he was perfect for the role. He was emaculate in his delivery and was the most believable actor in that role of 2006. So what went wrong? Alec Baldwin also performed well. Not as well as Wahlberg, but better than that Arkin guy. Looks like some actors from a Scorcese film got snubbed again.

I agree with the 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'

Avatar does not deserve Best Picture.

A movie should have great acting, an original plot, and dialogue that isnt so absolutely atrocious you cringe every other minute.

District 9, on the other hand... now theres a movie that actually deserves it.
