Actors/Roles that should have won Oscars but can't because the Oscars suck.

Action:  Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon...he was perfect in that role

Comedy:  Leslie Nielsen in Naked Gun, BRILLIANT

Sly Stallone:  Rocky, Rocky 4, Creed and Copland.  Voters confuse acting with "acting" and sadly it cost him awards.

Val Kilmer:  Top Gun...any guy that I have ever known that was in the Navy and/or Air Force said that Kilmer basically acted like every fighter pilot they ever met...and Tombstone, my goodness, AMAZING job.

Michael Biehn:  Terminator and/or Tombstone, again, he was sick!

Oh good call.

Paul Newman...for pretty much every role he was ever in.  He was so good at acting it was like he wasn't acting.

I can't believe Val Kilmer wasn't even nominated for his role as Doc Holiday.

Denzel Washington- Pelican Brief

Yeah...he should have won for The Departed and it should not have been close.

Mask was a great movie!
