But I recall that Crowe was the front runner for best lead actor that year, most people were expecting him to win, and afterwards it was assumed that he had ruined his own chances.
How did Christoph Waltz win for Django Unchained? Was his performance really that great?
Interesting that you chose D.U. because I remember that being a very unpredictable year for the Supporting Actor category, since no one had had a landslide in other televised awards like usual.
Mickey Rourke never really stood a chance to win best actor for The Wrestler, even if he hadn’t been going up against Sean Penn in Milk, simply because he is Mickey Rourke. People don’t like him, he’s too difficult, too weird, too rude, too intimidating.
