I guess we're just too used to seeing typical kick-ass performances from this guy.
Here are the nominees for Best Actor, 1999:
American Beauty - Kevin Spacey *WINNER*
Hurricane, The (1999) - Denzel Washington
Insider, The (1999) - Russell Crowe
Straight Story, The (1999) - Richard Farnsworth
Sweet and Lowdown (1999) - Sean Penn
Was Pacino's performance in Any Given Sunday better than any one of the above? I think he could have at least bumped Farnsworth off the list. And possible Crowe.
Here's the list of actress nominees for 1999:
Boys Don't Cry - Hilary Swank *WINNER*
American Beauty - Annette Bening
End of the Affair, The - Julianne Moore
Music of the Heart - Meryl Streep
Tumbleweeds - Janet McTeer
I've only seen Americcan Beauty. The others are chick flicks ferchristsakes. I think Diaz did at least as good a job as Benning, perhaps better.
