![]() Bogart was a master of saying more without words and could handle a variety of great roles. The man was known as one of the greatest stars in Hollywood, his tough guy persona hiding some fine acting talent. When Humphrey Bogart took the Oscar for The African Queen, it was clearly a “lifetime” award. If ever there is a case of an actor winning for the wrong role, it’s this. As with so much of Spacey, his win here is tainted by his actions but even without that, not as deserving of the Oscar as his competitors. ![]() The Academy seemed to regret the choice as Crow and Washington would win Best Actor in the next two years. Both men had given amazing performances to rock critics and audiences, each highly deserving and both had a better shot at winning than Spacey. More importantly is who Spacey beat: Denzel Washington for The Hurricane and Russell Crowe for The Insider. Spacey is good but he’s given better performances before and since then, and given what we know of him now, the performance has some creepy undertones. American Beauty hasn’t aged well, coming off today like a TV movie with a family in crisis. However, his second wasn’t as well remembered. His first Oscar win, for The Usual Suspects, was highly deserved to launch his career up. It’s sad that the man’s fantastic legacy as an actor is forever tarnished by his years of allegedly taking advantage of actors. Obviously, it’s easy today to slam Kevin Spacey as not worthy for personal reasons. Here are 10 Oscar winners who don’t really deserve those awards and 10 who should have won to show how unfair the Oscars can be. Keep in mind, this is just those nominated because trying to count those who deserved an Oscar but not nominated for it would be an entire separate list. Thus, the brutal truth is that so often, the wrong person wins and the right one gets screwed. Let’s not forget how studios do everything short of open bribery for votes for their actors and that works into things. There’s also how it’s obvious actors win because of how huge stars they are rather than the strength of the role. More than a few times, someone’s bad behavior has ended up costing them from huge tirades to releasing a bad film in the middle of the voting period. However, from the start, the Oscars have been plagued by how voters quite often ignore the performance and instead look at the actor. They’re supposed to rank the finest actors and actresses and separate the elite from the merely good. The Academy Awards are meant to show who the best in Hollywood is.
