Well, that's the way the Oscars work. He should have waited until he had the big-budget hit (Iron Man) and then made Chaplin. He would then win the Oscar in a landslide.
Charlie Sheen WTH man?????

Less Than Zero was profound, but yeah, Chaplin was an epiphany.
It's not often than an American actor can pull off a good British accent. Much less the not one, not two, but three different ones RDJ has in CHAPLIN. Yet Pacino's "Hoo ah!" blind twatbag won. Grrrrrrrr. F! that still pisses me off 17 years later.
Case in point:
The Oscars are lame in many ways. But they do have a horrible knack for passing over actors/directors when they deserve it, then coming back and essentially giving them a "lifetime achievement" vote for best actor/director/movie/etc. later on for lesser performances and films in order to make up for the gaff. Happened with Scorsese for sure, and Pacino there. I want to say they did it for the Coens, but honestly, they deserved it for No Country (they just deserved it more for Fargo).

And like Return of the King winning pretty much for the entire LOTR trillogy even though it probably wasn't the best of the 3 .

Chaplin was an amazing movie. Loved it. And it was directed by Dr. Hammond. So....
No doubt about it Fellowship was the best, but they weren't going to give it an Oscar since it wasn't finished. If they gave it to Fellowship, then they pretty much would've had to give it to Jackson 3 years in a row.
Yeah, seems like they decided what they were gonna do with LOTR when the first one was released and just sat on it. I'm only a casual fan of that franchise, but I think the first film is definitely the best of the three. And definitely an epic worthy of big-time awards.

I echo that Fellowship is lightyears the best of the 3

maybe in the minority here but I Like Two Towers the best, but I'm on pure uncut Sheen so you probably don't want to listen to me.
The man's a battle-tested bayonet... what the hell?
I know he says he's clean at the beginning, but I don't believe it for a second. Guy's high off his ass, and no, he doesn't look great at all. In his recent interviews, he literally looks like a zombie.

We can't even hear you.
You speak in a language and at a frquency beyond the capacity of our puny brains. If we were even able to hear, we'd be reduced to quivering, drooling masses of lobotomized meat.
We are lesser beings.

has anyone noticed in any of his interviews at several times when he's breathing/inhaling it looks & sounds as if he's hitting a bong or crack pipe............ i thought that was funny, strange, & sad all at the same time........

yeah, I've heard that's what happens when you start using Sheen and begin to win.
