Samuel L. Jackson, brewer, patriot, movie star.

1. He was robbed, ROBBED I say! He should have won the Oscar for Pulp Fiction

For sure.

That's all I have to say.

[bigwillq]

2. or for Jungle Fever

or A Time to Kill

but I agree for Pulp Fiction he was robbed.

[Melodybe]

3. I agree, it was a tough year though, he was up against Morgan Freeman

in Shawshank Redemption, and Gary Sinise in Forrest Gump.

But I have to give it to Jackson, his role in Pulp Fiction was the best.

Saddly I can not remember who won.

[bigwillq]

4. Freeman was up for Best Actor

Martin Landau (spell?) won for Ed Wood

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

6. Good movie, but Landau should never be forgiven for

the crap TV he did in the 60's.

They just gave it to him over the others cause he is old, and we assume SLJ will have more good movies.

7. I agree that they just gave it to Landau

kinda of like an honorary Oscar for all the years he has given to the business.

5. Martin Landau for Ed Wood.

Now I love me some Martin Landau (for his Mission Impossible days), but sometimes the Academy likes their sentimental favorites, and it was Landau that year--he'd never won before.

Eh, it's okay. It was a hard year, but Sam Jackson really owned that part and defined it. The others gave good performances, but Jackson took that character to another level, IMO.

[NightTrain]

8. Yep.

1994 was the Oscar year of the far less-deserving FORREST GUMP. Fucking Hollywood....

[Kolesar]

9. Yeah, I just did not get "Forrest Gump"

I don't even like thinking about it.

[bigwillq]

10. I also hated Forrest Gump

Such an awful movie.

[Kolesar]

11. Dana Carvey nasally imitating Ross Perot: "Why do I want to pay ...

...seven bucks to see some retart on a park bench crying to himself?!"

[bigwillq]

12. LOL!!! (nt)
