Why didn't he get at least a nomination for Best Actor?
I mean, Robert Redford in The Sting? Really??
From what I've read, McQueen banged too many wives of important Hollywood types, I get that......but still.....
They couldn't throw him a bone and at least give him a nomination for THAT performance?
Your thoughts?

He definitely deserved it over Robert Redford.
He is tied for my 5th spot that year with a couple other performances.
He is an Oscar nominee btw. He was nominated for The Sand Pebbles (1966).

Steve McQueen was too rebellious, which is why he didn't get many great roles. He got two from Peckinpah only because they (and Dennis Hopper) were "heads" as it was described back then. Those who smoked pot BEFORE it was popular.

My favorite performance from McQueen. I prefer his performance in The Sand Pebbles but I found myself appreciating this one a little more after rewatching it a couple days ago. |

Your thoughts? I wouldn't have nominated either McQueen or Redford. That slot should have gone to Gene Hackman for Scarecrow. This is primo Hackman, which is hard to beat.
