Bill Murray
Chest Rockwell:
Well I thought he was amazing in Lost in Translation, Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums, etc. I'm surprised no one's posted about him yet (I searched and found nothing, but I won't be too surprised if I'm redirected). Anyone else agree he should win the Best Actor award?
eward:
i agree!!! and he also made my childhood what it was, seeing as how the ghostbusters movies were my world way back when
matt35mm:
I also agree. He has a very good shot. It's about 50-50 between him and Sean Penn.
Now, I love Sean Penn, but just thinking about Bill Murray in Lost in Translation makes me feel as good as the movie did. Sean Penn will be nominated again, probably. This was Murray's perfect role, though, and those only come around once (or so).
Sanjuro:
another very tough decision here as in with best actress. murrays acting was much more subtler than penn. penn gave a powerful performance as to murrays more reserved one (well the roles called for it and penn is really known for his powerful performances), but yes it would be great to see murray win!
and yes he was my favorite ghostbuster!
Chest Rockwell:
He was everone's favorite ghostbuster. Anyone that disagrees is just wierd. But seriously, i personally think he should win the Oscar, simply because he'll probably never get this much attention again while Sean Penn will go on to be one of those actors nominated every year. I personally think Penn's performance in 21 Grams was better than that in Mystic River, though. Comparatively speaking, I think there's no question of Bill's superiority when put up against Mystic River-Penn; had it been Bill vs. 21 Grams-Penn, it'd be a tougher call.
