The Futurist Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 3 Oscahs. Damn. Jack is not gonna like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Maybe Jack will get inspired to finally get up and really show 'em how it's done once again. I don't want his last performance to be How Do You Know, and his last great performance to be in a film that's 10 years old already. (that'd be About Schmidt).

Jack Nevada Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I loved him in The Departed. He was pretty OTT in that movie (even on Nicholson standards) but I still think he was robbed a supporting actor nomination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 If Jack gets another nomination (or Michael Caine) he'll be the first person to get oscar nominations for 6 different decades iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's unofficially quit acting. I dont know what kind of a medical shape he is in, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I think he's unofficially quit acting. I dont know what kind of a medical shape he is in, either. Yeah, he's pretty damn old. Doesn't even turn up to oscars for the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Yeah, he's pretty damn old. Doesn't even turn up to oscars for the last few years. That sucks, man. It always seemed like the Oscars were like the highlight of his years, didn't it? He was always having a blast and grinning his ass off even when the hosts were bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I loved him in The Departed too, but it was a pretty one-note part. In About Schmidt, he's on as high a level as he's ever been - subtle, layered and shedding a lot of his natural movie star charisma. And not that he doesn't deserve his unofficial retirement, but yeah, I'm pretty sad he's for the most part completely off the radar now. I'm sure he could find work if only he wanted to - I mean, Christopher Plummer is 8 years older and is doing great. Although he's definitely in a better physical shape, too.

Kvikk Lunsj Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 1. Lewis and Jackman are tied for me the best actor of the year. 3. Cooper 4. Washington (should not have been nominated) Have seen Phoenix performance yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
