Absolutely serious: if he had portrayed a famous person (or Casey Kasem) in a biopic with as much skill as he gave Shaggy he’d have been nominated.

7. Michael Moriarty, in “Q”

This 1982 picture was so deeply enbedded in the B-movie genre, it is doubtful any member of the Academy even knew of its existence, but ti was a wonderfully refreshing performance by a great talent in an otherwise horrible picture. Put it on your must-see list.

I’m not saying it was high art, but she was at least as good as Christoph Waltz was in Django (though Waltz as Landa was a notch above) in both acting and physicality.

‘Miller’s Crossing’, Best Picture 1990

Much, *much *better than 4 of the 5 nominees.

Just want to jump in to second this post.

Besides bad Best Pictures nominees, 1990 was notable for some terrible and belated sequels to great movies: The Godfather Part III, Texasville, and The Two Jakes.

11. Steve Martin for All of Me.

At one point I wondered “How did they get Lilly Tomlin into Steve Martin’s body?” And Roger Ebert agreed that Martin’s performance was Oscar worthy.
