389719, If he didn't die...

Someone would have mentioned it. People always "mention" performances as being award worthy, and those are the ones we tend to forget about. Since he died, people are serious about it. There's precedent though. Silence of the Lambs came out on Valentine's Day and Anthony Hopkins and Jody Foster held down the fort until the oscars the following year. And Forrest Gump was a summer movie too.

That said, I think he was as good as any of the recent oscar winners. I just saw "There Will Be Blood" for the first time last Saturday (the day after two viewings of TDK) and he was as good IMO as Daniel Day Lewis.

I tend to ignore the oscars ever since Eddie Murphy got fucked over for Dreamgirls.
