Michael Gross - Tremors
Tony Shalhoub - Galaxy Quest
Gedde Watanabe - 16 Candles
Samuel L Jackson - The Incredibles

Thomas F Wilson - BTTF trilogy (with a special thumbs up for Mad Dog)


See what I'm doing here.......whatcha got?

Mila Kunis in Black Swan. It's shameful that she wasn't even nominated.

Concerning supporting actors in Galaxy Quest:

Alan Rickman >> Tony Shalhoub

Sorry, but it's true.

It is true......but I get a tickle out of how calm Tony's character is in every situation.


Oh, and I don't think most of you get what I was trying to do here. It's just supporting roles where the actors (or actresses) did great jobs in non-Oscar worthy films. The Oscar thing was sarcasm.

And forgot to mention Bill Paxton in True Lies

Fair enough.

And Paxton was good, but True Lies was the only good performance Tom Arnold ever gave in his entire life. So...

Michael Madsen in Donnie Brasco

Al Pacino in the same but probably more as leading actor.

Both were great and DB is one of the most underrated films of our time.

Seems like Caan, Duvall, and Pacino canibalized one another leading none of the most deserving 3 to win that award.

I know Christophe Waltz won, but Samuel L. Jackson should have at least been nominated for his part in Django Unchained.

Thought Leo was the best part of Django and was stunned he wasn't even nominated.

Totally forgot that one........and an excellent example of what I was trying to do here. I would also add Alex Karras.....Mongo only pawn in game of life.

Big, big fan of Leo, but he can't hold an on-screen accent to save his life.
