SNL oscar losses

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/files/2012/02/billy-crystal-sammy-davis-j.jpg

Um, Bill Murray?

(Plus the other, much inferior, Joan Cusack nomination)

voted Quaid

Murray's never been nominated right? ridic

Murphy was supp btw

Oh, that's who George Coe is:

Coe was also an original member of the "Not Ready For Prime Time Players," the original cast of Saturday Night Live, but he was only credited as a cast member for the first three shows (October 11, 18, and 25 of 1975), often as an announcer in fake commercials. Coe was used in several other episodes of SNL, but was never again credited.

Murray was nominated for Best Actor, Lost in Translation.

And he split right after losing.

it's weird to think of Downey only having one Oscar nomination and no wins his whole career so far

Voted Quaid from the list but, um, Bill in Lost in Translation all the way

Downey will get his for Iron Man 3.

it's weird to think of Downey only having one Oscar nomination and no wins his whole career so far

Yeah, especially since he was nominated twice.

oh that's right, he was nommed for Tropic Thunder! that was awesome! still, i would've thought that'd be more than just his 2nd nom ever.

Pretty sure this poll's omissions were designed for the sole purpose of driving jaymc insane.

for what, though? Two Girls And A Guy? xpost

RDJ's one of those respected actors who haven't rocked that many respected movies. Says something that one is for a biopic no one cared about and the other is for a comedy no one would normally throw oscar love too.

Downey should've been nominated and won for Black & White.

a good portion of his respect is for not being dead at this point tho, isn't it?

well yeah that's kind of what i mean -- obviously oscar nods aren't a great measure of the quality of someone's body of work but it goes without saying that his never really caught up to his rep

I forgot murray!

The shitty Oscars said Wiig was the ninth cast member to get a nom. I researched this list and stopped at nine. Oscars are wrong as fuck.

Or, conversely, I can't count to nine :/

this thread sucks anyways, play me off forks

this thread does kinda make me want to do a poll of actors who got oscar nods for a COMEDY comedy like bridesmaids, tropic thunder, etc.

shocking

times when you can make fun of me for starting poll threads: now right now

Downey was a surprisingly lively Chaplin despite the Attenboredom

Forks, come in this thread and lock it

He will just change the title tbh

Pretty sure this poll's omissions were designed for the sole purpose of driving jaymc insane.

Hahaha.

a comedy comedy

*BLAM*

Cusack was also nominated for In & Out, btw.

(Although I couldn't stand her in it.)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Missed this one -- a good idea.

Aykroyd's the best of this lot

well yeah

Michael McKean - A Mighty Wind (Best Original Song, 1994)

movie's a lot older than i thought!

Eddie Murphy was nominated for Best Actor?

o i see

i don't remember a mighty wind coming out in 94? i had barely even heard of spinal tap at that age.

A Mighty Wind = 2004

maybe its one of those things where the song was actually first written/recorded in 1994

Nope, I think Whiney just fucked up.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
