Oh man, I never even connected that he was Beethoven in Immortal Beloved. This guy is such a great actor :o
Ulfzark

One man has many faces - Seriously though! It can be so hard to recognise him in some movies!
amoir
He was blacklisted for a while because he was upset at the editing of the Contender and may have claimed it was due to pro-Democrat stance.
sosofosho
Then he had the nerve to say Hollywood is too politically correct.
Bluntforcetrauma
Fun fact. He has no accent. He can't remember how he used to speak. His voice is just an amalgamation of his on screen voices.

It is known as the Oscar Curse. Adrian Brody, Genna Davis, Mira Sorvino and quite a few more

But it didnt hurt Jack Nicholson, or Al Pacino , or Di Niro

Indeed. Oh and by the way I love this guy. He was great in Air Force One.

Meryl Streep? She's always nominated and has won a few times.

beez428
-1 for implying you ever took 'em seriously, +1 for the reason you stopped. She's utterly "meh" to me. So...penalties offset, 1st down.
imophalblue
To be fair he's a good actor but he's never going to win best actress award.
Lisossoma
Brave of you to comment that on Imgur. Unfortunately really unpopular opinions are normally downvoted. I like JL, but I'll hpvote you
Realitea
I think you should watch Silver Linings playbook. She gave a great performance. Please always keep in mind that acting isnt easy.
Nuuskamuikkunen
I have seen that movie. Liked it very much, wasn't impressed with her acting though.
UnemployedInGreenland
I'm a big fan of Jennifer Lawrence but was underwhelmed by her performance in SLP. Chastain should've won that year.
TheresAlwaysTimeForLubricant
Which Chastain movie was that year? She's been on fire fire a while, love her.
UnemployedInGreenland
Zero Dark Thirty

Agreed. How could JL get an Oscar but not Gary Oldman? Also Gwyneth Paltrow has an Oscar...Wait, I see the pattern now...

Yes, Leo has never gotten an Oscar for playing a charismatic douche undone by his own hubris. Maybe if he tried... anything else?
aromaticfable
Hey, he totally deserved the Oscar for Arnie in What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
Ambitiousnobody
Still, his portrayal of Gatsby was spot on.
california1ove
Dicaprio has no range. Same role every film. Can't remember inception vs shutter island vs the island. He needs to work on his range
plzwhateverisokforme
No range ? Because he clearly plays the same type or character in Titanic and Wolf of wall street
california1ove
imo he always plays himself, kind of like matt mcconaughey; always plays an eccentric texan. truly feel that chiwetel ejiofor deserved oscar
california1ove
one man is a british classically trained actor who played a southerner vs MM who played, well, an extension of himself
WitchsmellerPursuivant
Gary Oldman is THE best actor in the world. He is beyond Oscar.... Don't give him the same award Mira Sorvino got...
iFINALLYmadeAcomment
Thank you for saying his name, as OP didn't say who it is and everyone else is just referring to him as "the actor".
SexBender
I'm glad I'm not the only one. Spent way too long looking for his name
Johnnybanmuffins
How do you not know who Gary Oldman is by those roles i posted
WitchsmellerPursuivant
Because he is great. Jack Nicholson always plays Jack Nicholson. Al Pacino is always Pacino. Oldman is entirely different person each time.

I was very hungover once and had to watch that for a class. I turned it off and went for dinner once I saw the werewolf sex. Never finished.

Costumes in that film were so on point, man I want to dress like he did.

Omg, yes.

Sorry to disagree, but I'm gonna say favorite Dracula is Sir Christopher Lee. May he rest in peace. Gary Oldman's in a close 2nd though.

Assuming preteen means ages 13-14 here, absolutely they can. That's usually when puberty starts taking a shit on your life.

Preteen is before your age ends in -teen but you're double digits. so 10, 11, 12.

It's perfect because he makes it believable. Only other person who has legitimately scared me that much is Anton Cigur (Javier Bardem).
