Oscars in Review-1998 Best Actor

Oscars in Review-1998 Best Actor

In this post I will review the Academy's pick for Best Actor for 1998. 1998 is one of the Oscar's worst years it has ever had, they just seemed to get everything wrong that year. Usually in these posts I focus on the winner and the one that I thought should win, this time I will look at a few others who were nominated as well (sorry Nick Nolte you are the only one left out). I will briefly look at the performances before sharing my thoughts on why Roberto Benigni won.

Top 5 Jon Voight Performances

Jon Voight has that instantly recognizable face which makes lots of people go "Oh, it's him!" but they do not know his name. Which is a real shame because even though he has been in some really bad movies (I'm looking at you Transformers), his great movies do not get enough love with audiences nowadays. In a small attempt to change that (at least among some of my friends) here are his 5 best performances.
