Diego Pineda has been a devout storyteller his whole life. He has self-published a fantasy novel and a book of short stories, and is actively working on publishing his second novel.
Ever since their establishment in the late 1920s, the Oscars have been the most prestigious and coveted awards in the film industry. They are so prestigious and coveted, in fact, that many actors throughout history have made desperate attempts at getting their hands on one.
✕ Remove Ads A performance so exaggeratedly Oscar-baity that Tropic Thunder's mockery of it is probably better-known than the movie itself, Penn's work on I Am Sam is undeniably strong, but certainly a bit too over-the-top to be Oscar-worthy. Nevertheless, it's a beautiful and deeply moving film celebrating fatherhood and empathy, and only the most cynical of viewers could get through the whole thing without having their emotions stirred by Penn's devastating acting.
✕ Remove Ads O'Toole and Hepburn are incredible powerhouses in Lion in Winter , flawlessly transporting these characters from screenwriter James Goldman's successful play to the big screen. Yes, this was very evidently meant to be a big Oscar contender from the moment it went into development, but that doesn't take away the fact that these two legends offer some of their best work ever in this film.
Quite frankly, Smith started making numerous melodramatic Oscar-baity films after he lost forThe Pursuit of Happyness in 2007, but this is easily the most obvious example—which is probably a big reason why he finally won. He's in the middle-upper tier of 21st-century Best Actor winners, so this is definitely not his best performance, but it was showy enough to finally get him that Oscar he'd been pursuing for so long.
4 Christian Bale 'Vice' ✕ Remove Ads Christian Bale got his first Oscar nod for Supporting Actor for The Fighter, and won. Like many others, he's been chasing that second statuette for years. He came remarkably close to the Best Actor win in 2019 forVice, a dark political satire telling the story of Dick Cheney. It traces his journey from bureaucratic Washington insider to Vice President under George W.
✕ Remove Ads Making a terribly boring movie that celebrates the life and work of a politician despised the world over was a doomed idea from the start, but anyone might have reasonably expected Streep to at least elevate the final product to a reasonable degree. Sadly, this is one of the legend's rare misses. Her performance feels hammy and caricaturistic, but her admirable legacy and the showiness of the performance were more than enough for the Academy to fall for it.
