Punishment Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 1) Val Kilmer not being nominated for best supporting actor in Tombstone in 1993. Tommy Lee Jones was the deserved winner for The Fugitive that year. There were even some very good nominations that year for supporting actor. But none of them gave a career performance like Val Kilmer did in Tombstone. He lost more than 40 pounds to play the gunslinger. He studied his mannerisms, his movements and his speech. Kilmer embodied the very spirit of Doc Holliday. Kurt Russell was so impressed with Kilmer's interpretation of Holliday that he bought him a small piece of land in Arizona after filming was done. Tombstone wasn't very well reviewed by the critics in 1993 but it was a very big success at the box office and even bigger on home video. Val Kilmer was often spoken about as one of the bright spots in Tombstone. As mentioned, Jones was a good choice for supporting actor that year. But Kilmer should have at least been nominated and if he had won, no one would have questioned it. He was simply outstanding. "I'm your Huckleberry."Honourable mentions:The Matrix not being nominated for anything significant +1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Perks of Being a Wallflower. Easily one of the best films of the year and it wasn't even able to garner a single nomination. Cloud Atlas, as well. I understand it's an incredibly divisive film, but not getting a single nomination at all? These are the ones that definitely come to mind right now.
