Oscar, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Him?

Granted, Best Actor is a tough category this year. But c'mon, people of the Academy - did you not read Maya's pleas? (Maya's pleas)
Viggo should get a "Most Improved" Best Actor Oscar. Look how far he's come in a few short years! Check out A Perfect Murder and compare that mumbling, bumbling beefsteak to the bonafide actor above. (Using this rationale, perhaps Heath should win the statue. And Philip Seymour shouldn't because he's always been genius.) Alas, William Hurt was the only member of the A History of Violence cast to be recognized by the AMPAS. He was the biggest ham! I wanted to douse him with mustard! Keep aiming high, Viggy, and maybe you'll get one of those retrograde Oscars (a la Crowe, Denzel, Pacino, etc.) when people come to their senses next year.
