  6. Anytime someone plays in a movie about a real person, they win an Oscar Except "What's Love Got To Do With It", "JFK", "The Untouchables", "Walk the Line" (Phoenix), "Braveheart", any portrayal of Jesus, "Schindler's List", "Elvis", "Concussion", "Straight Outta Compton", "Rocketman", "Nina", "Selma", "Vice", "Hotel Rwanda", "The Aviator", "Wolf of Wall Street", "Into the Wild"... wait! What were we talking about again?

  7. @normadesmond6017  That's beside the point, because the fact is that those who DON'T win, don't get nominated, and/or get panned for playing real people, are in the majority

  8. It's never been confirmed anywhere that this was the reason Fiennes lost. Plus, if you look at actors who swept the supporting category throughout the years, it was mostly for playing villains or highly unsympathetic characters

  9. Leo at least has an Oscar, unlike Amy Adams and Glenn Close, for example, or Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton, who passed away empty-handed despite 8 and 7 nominations, respectively
