Question:
If so, which actor/actress is closest to getting his/her Oscar revoked?
Option 1: Robin Williams
votes: 1
Option 2: Whoopi Goldberg
votes: 13
Option 3: Angelina Jolie
votes: 7
Option 4: Mira Sorvino
votes: 1
Option 5: Cuba Gooding Jr.
votes: 9
None of these have made a decent movie since winning the Oscar. I didn't include Affleck, since his Oscar is for screenplay...
I went with Cuba Gooding Jr., since I still have nightmare's about those damn Pepsi commercials he did.
What'd Whoopi Goldberg win for, Ghost? Actually, looking at this list, I think maybe the voting status of the Academy members is what needs to be revoked.
Whoopi won for the Color Purple (pretty sure).

Nah, I checked it out on IMDB and she was nominated for Color Purple but lost. The Oscar win was for Ghost.
Kevin Costner for "Dances with Cliches"
"Forest Gump (aka Running to Nowhere)" for winning over Shawshank.
James Cameron for "Titanicly Boring" over "Good Will Hunting."
I think the all-time worst was having Shakespeare In Love winning out over Saving Private Ryan.
Go a bit further back...
1942 How Green Was my Valley wins over...... Citizen Kane
1981 Ordinary People wins over ....Raging Bull
1991Â Dances with Wolves wins over .... Goodfellas
Can they take back all of Kostner's Oscars?
1976 Rocky wins over......Taxi Driver.
Hollywood hates Scorsese. They hate that he goes overseas to film a lot of his flics. I was told on the night of this year's oscars by a retired assistant studio head that they were never going to give Martin his due because they just don't like him.
Raging Bull
Goodfellas
Taxi Driver
The Aviator
There ya go.

Hey, they gave Roman Polanski an Oscar, and he's been overseas for years. Of course, that's because he's dodging a rape conviction.

When hadicapping Oscar wins, Rule #1 is that Holocaust stories trump everything.
So what is the excuse for never giving Clint Eastword a best actor award?

Yeah, they booed a director (who won for making a political documentary) for making a political statement, and gave a standing ovation to a child molester.

"Ryan" won best screenplay, best cinematography and best director. Which means it was the best written, best shot, and best directed picture. The Weinsteins just called in every favor they had.
Although, Gwynneth showed her boobies, and there were no boobies in "Saving Private Ryan"...

I was gonna say that Oher got robbed, but I'm not sure how he even got nominated for best actress.
Guess Oprah's got a lot of pull.
Mark it down the 2011 academy award for best director will either go to Rowdy Herrington or the guy who directed Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey.

What'd you got against "The Wiz"? If "Ease on the Down the Road" isn't an iconic song from a motion-picture musical, then I don't know what is.

""What movie could she play in?" Stern questioned on his live broadcast. "You feel bad because everyone pretends that she's part of show business, and she's never going to be in another movie."
The comments made on Stern's show sparked a heated debate among moviegoers and industry observers, with some believing the shock-jock was simply saying what everyone else is thinking.
Jeffrey Wells, a columnist who's lent his candid perspective on the industry to a variety of outlets over the years and now blogs about it on HollywoodElsewhere.com, said in an e-mail, "Gabby is a lovely person and a fine actress, but the hard fact is that she's way, way too fat," adding that the actress will suffer from health problems as well as limited career opportunities if she doesn't lose weight.
"I don't want Gabby to not work, but the only roles she'll have a shot at playing will be down-market moms and hard-luck girls working at Wal-Mart," Wells continued. "No casting director would choose her to play anyone in the upscale executive world ... because no one in the executive world looks like her.""

It's nice how you can't say true things about huge fat people without getting killed by all the wonderful, kind-hearted people who never, EVER make fun of fat people. It's good to know all these wonderful people are out there fighting injustice and name calling. I hope to meet one of them some day.
