Definitely. One of the best performances I've ever seen.

I thought Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind was easily the best performance that year that Denzel won.

Also Ellen Burstyn was amazing in Requiem for a Dream. But I wonder why she was nominated for Best Actress instead of Supporting.

She was the "main" actress in that movie. Jennifer Connelly, while great, was a secondary character, imo.

I'm actually a little mad at myself for not thinking of this one. That was a crime that she didn't win.

This is where politics kills the Oscars. A lot of people thought Russell Crowe should have beaten Kevin Spacey in 1999 for his performance in The Insider. So, in 2000, the Oscars gave Russell Crowe the award despite Tom Hanks having the superior performance in Cast Away.

And when Crowe truly delivered in A Beautiful Mind, one of the best performances of the last decade, the Academy gave the Oscar to an inferior performing Denzel Washington.

Tom Cruise and Dicaprio definitely should have gotten at least one.
Cruise should have gotten it for Rainman

Sean Penn should not have won that year.

I would like to submit Ralph Fiennes for his performance in Schindler's List. Tommy Lee Jones was good in The Fugitive but he should not have won the Oscar.
