That's a good one, to be honest, and I agree, but there was no realistic chance Bruce was never going to be nominated for a movie with that low a budget. They certainly didn't have the money to launch a campaign.

The makers of the movie Anna (1987) had similar concerns yet Sally Kirkland ended up being nominated for the Oscar for her performance in Anna. The movie's budget was $1m. Kirkland would later say she couldn't believe she got nominated because of the film's low budget.

Interesting enough, Bubba Ho-Tep's budget was also $1m.

Agreed: his "Rhodesian accent" was troubling: he sounded like a South African speaking while having his nuts squeezed  Buggedout

Trevor, I will not ask how you know what this sounds like, but condolences if they apply.  Buggedout

I was born there: a Rhodesian's manner of speaking sounds almost like a British accent. If you hear me speaking, you will think I'm from the UK.  TeddyR

I don't think Bill Hitchcock even got a best actor nomination for his deeply moving and impeccably nuanced portrayal of 'Ralph' in THE MUTILATOR

SAVING PRIVATE RYAN absolutely should have won Best Picture in 1998.

I can't argue with that.

Ditto.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
