That speech was disgusting. I usually fast forward through the speeches but was caught up and had the misfortune of hearing that mess.
All those jokes about Leo and he doesn't even win!
I did see The Departed, and he was amazing in that role.
I think it is bad to be nominated twice in the same category. I bet his votes were split and probably would have done better if he had just one nomination.
Pure speculation on my part.![]()
Did Hereos win supporting actor?
One of the magazines I read (Entertainment Weekly, I think) predeicted that this would happen. Leo would split votes between both roles, and Forest Whitaker would win. I'm glad for Forest Whitaker, but I did want Leo to win.
Why do people always say this when a certain person they want doesn't win? (Not flaming here.)
Helen Mirren was nominated twice in a single category and won. It wasn't until she got up there & repeated it was for Queen Elizabeth, that I knew WHICH role she won for.
Tonight, Clint Eastwood was nominated twice & he won also. So that statement just doesn't necessarily apply.
Like I said, speculation.
