Oscar snubs?

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.

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.

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.
