I’m OK with all of them but I have heard a lot of discussions because of these that is why I want to know your opinion. What do you think?
of the ones I’ve seen, the ones I have a problem with even being nominated:
Johnny Depp for Finding Neverland–love him as an actor, but that movie wasn’t that great, and his performance, though good, was still one of his least impressive.
Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan–again, a good, solid performance, but not outstanding.
Russell Crowe’s performance in Gladiator wasn’t so much because it was difficult as it showed raw star power. His win was more about the difference between that role and his much more impressive turn in The Insider. There are a lot of these performances that are more about star power and charisma than they are about any real stretch as an actor (in particular Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman)
Kevin Costner for Dances With Wolves–great, epic movie. great direction (though a bit long). but just okay acting.

Nearly all of them didn’t even deserve to be nominated by my definitions.
Awards are for Shakespeare-trained actors–with above-average voices, high intelligence and neutral accents. They’re the real professionals.
They’re the only ones who can adequately play officers, above sergeant rank,
successful professionals, and in the past and future in sci-fi or historical films.
Instead of rewarding professionals, people only good enough for folk-accent movies are constantly being allowed to play roles they scientifically can’t possible succeed in and even being handed awards for them.
Also, since actors get better with age, the way old wine does, actors over 45 most often act from within and younger actors just play themselves usually. So they are better.
From your list, for instance, in 1995, Sean Penn was miles above the other two; and in 1979 none of the three deserved to be nominated. With the ladies, the bias against professionalism is even clearer. Thank you for asking.
